Quick Onion Poha/Kanda Poha (Indian Breakfast)

Do you like quick and tasty recipes? I am sure for most the answer is yes. Onion Poha is one which fit into this category for breakfast. I had Poha first during my stay in Mumbai. But I never tried to make it at that time. But when I had it here when one of my husband’s friend made it I just loved it. It so simple and quick to make and the best part is my husband is ready to have it without any curry. Now when I realize there is no curry or gravy I immediately make it. Check it out, its one of the easiest recipe that you can try 🙂
