Indian Food dish made from flattened rice

About this dish

Indori poha (poha of Indore) is a flattened rice snack that is likely to have originated in the Indian metropolis of Indore. It contains steamed poha (flattened rice) and is usually served with a unique combination of jalebi (called poha-jalebi combined), sev, usal, sliced onions, fennel seeds and sprinkle of Jeeravan Masala on top of it. Unlike the other varieties of Poha found across India, Indori Poha is cooked in steam instead of being cooked directly with other ingredients. This provides Indori Poha its distinct taste, softness, and flavor. Indori poha is sweeter in taste compared to other variaties of Poha. Vendors generally prefer peas instead of peanuts, in contrast to typical Indian poha dishes. Indori poha is generally served with jalebi.
