I saw this in a cookbook and was fully intrigued. I immediately went to amazon and order up some poha (flattened rice). Honestly why do some of these thing come in such large guantities?
This was a fun recipe, it didn’t really end up being as loose of a batter as advertized, but i loved the option to add spice and toppings at will.
The original recipe called for onions and tomatoes, but hubby doesn’t like those, so i went with a couple different spices.
