Poha Vada (Flattened Rice Vada)
Poha is one of the most popular breakfast dish, having a very big consumer base. Whether it is north or west, popularity of poha is pretty high. At least once or twice this is cooked in our homes and we feel delighted to relish it.
Similarly if you are from south, idli or dosa or vada would be your favourite to start your mornings. However real challenge with South Indian breakfast is that you need to ensure your material is ready one night before. So you have to keep the batter ready beforehand itself.
Here I faced a tricky situation when family desired to have Vada with Sambhar and I didn't have the batter. So I thought and came up with an innovative concept to make Vada from Poha i.e. flattened rice (also known as Chura in some places). This is easily digestible and easily available. So try this at home
