Friends I know I am very irregular . Do not know why it is happening with me,not getting enough time to write for my blog. Can not share more and more recipes with you as I did earlier.Cannot communicate with you too. I miss those days. Still trying to get involve with my lovely work , with my happiness.
Anyway, here I am again with another snack recipe which is called Poha basically but in Bengal we call it Chirer Polau. Chire means rice flakes and Polau/Pulao means a mixture with vegetables and masala. But sill it is a light snack which is healthy too. My recipe represents the Bengali version with little change. I hope if you follow my way you will love it. So try once as I prepare.
Its very simple. I added vegetables whatever I had in my pantry. So you have also a choice about vegetables.
To some extent its nutrition value is higher too. Rice flakes carries a large amount of calcium,carbohydrates, and protein. It has good quantity of iron. So it can prevent iron deficiency. And after adding vegetables and peanuts more vitamin and minerals are available from this recipe too. More and more it is quick breakfast option in healthy categories.
