Aloo Poha a very delicious and easy to make breakfast or evening tiffin. Thick poha is washed and then tossed in Onion-Potato mixture, garnished with coriander leaves and lemon juice. This is a perfect and healthy evening snack with hot tea/coffee or a perfect after-school snack for kids. The flavor from green chili and ginger along with sourness from lemon makes the poha and potatoes tastes so dainty. We can make this aloo poha under 20 mins and its a filling snack/breakfast. This is a very popular recipe in Maharashtra and Gujarat.

Most of the recipes with Poha is very easy to make. Poha doesn’t need to be cooked. We can just wash the poha nicely and keep it covered for some time and it becomes soft and fluffy within 10 minutes. Any recipes we make with rice, we can substitute with poha like Aval Bisibelebath.  In South India, we make Aval Upma which is also very quick and easy to make. But this aloo poha has more flavor than our conventional Aval Upma.

Tips for making Aloo Poha:

  • Use thick poha for this recipe. Thick poha has to be washed atleast twice. Wash the poha, drain water, cover and set aside. Again in 5 mins, check the poha to see it its soft and non-sticky. If the poha is very dry and stiff, sprinkle some water, mix well and set aside covered.
  • Using onion is optional. We can make Aloo Poha without onions also.
  • Instead of tempering chili and ginger, we can grind the green chili and ginger to smooth paste and use it for more flavor.
  • Potatoes will cook faster. So sprinkle little water, cover and cook potatoes till soft. We can also pre-cook potatoes and then toss it with onions and poha.
  • We can top up the aloo poha with sev and serve!

Sought after Maharashtrian dish!! For tadka, i just do not use urad dhal and channadhal as it steals away the authentic flavour of a Marathi dish.. but instead use groundnuts ….

As usual your recipes are simply awesome….
