Kanda Poha (Spiced Veggie Rice flakes Oat Breakfast)


Kanda Poha is a savory Indian breakfast dish made with quick-cooking rice flakes(poha), onion(kanda), peas and turmeric. I add some oats to make this extra filling and nourishing!

Meet my favorite savory breakfast dish – Poha! This is a popular Indian breakfast dish made with thick rice flakes. These flakes are like oats, you soak them and use. Most often they are used in a savory dish like this breakfast. It’s a stir fry with Indian spices, onion, peas, other veggies, and nuts. It’s served garnished with lime juice, cilantro. I often add oats along with the rice flakes, to make it a heartier breakfast. Oats are an acquired flavor so try by replacing quarter of the rice flakes and then half with oats. For an all oat version, make my oat poha.
