Friends and family have always loved it, too, so be encouraged to try it if you're not already! Two toppings that I really like to put on (in addition to those listed here) are fresh chopped tomatoes and bombay mix of some kind (a mix of spicy/salty/sweet fried deliciousness... google it). Also, in India people it is not uncommon for people to pour a little chai onto their poha and eat the two combined!! YUM... I think I'll make some for breakfast tomorrow :)denathequeenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11633250200577480748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29738446.post-87212961535695209082010-09-24T06:18:46.719-04:002010-09-24T06:18:46.719-04:00Hi,

Anyway, I was just passing through scrolling through your wonderful posts and beautiful blog. I really have to say once again that I have such a great admiration for your photos, they kind of take a different dimension here on your blog!

I really appreciate the nomination, that means a lot to me - thank you!<BR/>Amanda: That is THE nicest comment - I've read it several times, you made my day! I am so happy that this recipe has personal meaning for you and it's really nice to hear that you and your boyfriend share this together and cook it for your mom! I like your ideas. I also think a friend egg on top might be nice. I will definitely keep experimenting with this one. Thanks again.<BR/>Thanks for your comments "fan" and recipe girl.<BR/>-S.Sabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328549946090033100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29738446.post-20225575643166806312008-04-10T19:29:00.000-04:002008-04-10T19:29:00.000-04:00Hello!I have very much enjoy your blog.

When I saw this particular recipe, I just had to comment! <BR/><BR/>I am American, but my boyfriend is from India, so I am very familiar with this dish--it's probably our favorite breakfast (we also add cauliflower, and just boil it separately). As you mentioned, the dish may be intimidating to try, but it's so worth it! Everytime my mom comes to visit, this is her first request. <BR/><BR/>And once you have a bag of poha, the possiblities are endless. You can fry it for a snack, or make a sweet dessert with coconut and raisins. I encourage everyone to give it a try! <BR/><BR/>thanks again for the post,<BR/>amandaAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02405572851738223449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29738446.post-87472300289126683822008-04-08T16:23:00.000-04:002008-04-08T16:23:00.000-04:00Thank you for the chai recipe, it sounds super tas...Thank you for the chai recipe, it sounds super tasty.

It's something I would definitely like to know more about. There are a couple Indian cookbooks on my wish list.<BR/>Deborah - if you were so inclined, you could certainly mail order. The place I get my Indian goods from in NY, for example, will ship. Take a look <A HREF="http://www.kalustyans.com/" REL="nofollow">here</A>. <BR/>I think all you would need is the Poha (flattened rice - the thick kind), the curry leaves, and the asafoetida. The rest I imagine you can find easily enough near you.Sabrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00328549946090033100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29738446.post-20039776376326089122008-04-07T14:16:00.000-04:002008-04-07T14:16:00.000-04:00I really wish I had an Indian grocer near, because...I really wish I had an Indian grocer near, because this sounds delicious!Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11741861711308777389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29738446.post-43567194012511977002008-04-07T10:49:00.000-04:002008-04-07T10:49:00.000-04:00Simply beautiful photos!
