When you think of flattened rice, what’s the first thing that comes to mind? For many of us it’s probably the breakfast dish of Maharashtra, poha. Or it may be aval mix, where the rice is mixed with banana or coconut and eaten as a snack. For many others, flattened rice may remind us of kheer or payasam.

Well whatever it may be, I’m sure many of you didn’t think of poha as vada! Vada is generally made with dals or besan, but poha vada is a great competitor to these in terms of crunchiness and taste. What’s more, in today’s recipe, we’ve added some veggies to increase the nutrient content.
