One of my favorite breakfast while growing up was Poha upma. Each family/region probably has a different version of this and I found that the Oriyan version is much more simpler and faster to make.
Since we have got used to our version of Poha Upma, it was definitely a lot different and plain. Next time I would add a few peanuts and more vegetables. The kids missed the potatoes in this for sure!

Interesting, tomatoes will give some mild tanginess to this dish na,would love to give a try soon.
tomatoes to poha is new to me..loved it
I like the use of tomato in the poha..it will give it a mild tanginess..and keep the poha moist.
I guess all versions of poha are good to make...:) and making it more crunchy appeals much better!
nice and inviting...
