me and my husband like to travel and a lot and we make sure to have a small vacations for 2-3 days every month. however our biggest challenge is our breakfast and lunch during our vacations. being a vegetarian offers us very little options here in australian restaurants. even the big chains like mcdonalds and kfc does not have any veg meal options except french fires or chips. to tackle this problem i always fall back to my instant mix recipes and one such option is ready to eat poha mix. it so easy that you can prepare the same soft and tender poha recipe by just adding hot water and rest it for 15 minutes.
while there isn’t any complicated steps in ready to eat poha mix recipe yet i would like to share few tips and suggestions. firstly, always use thick poha in this recipe and thin or medium poha is not recommended. secondly, always dry roast onion, ginger to remove the moisture content from it. once dry roasted, roast it again with oil and mix with other ingredients. finally store instant poha mix in a air tight container and it should last for minimum a month or two.
