A poha with a twist – this brown bread poha is a unique rendition of India’s favourite breakfast recipe. Poha is usually made with flattened rice. This recipe replaces the flattened rice with brown bread slices. I usually make this brown bread poha when I have bread left in my refrigerator that I need to use up. It is delicious, easy and can be made with your choice of vegetables. This recipe is kid friendly and makes for a great lunch box option.
