BM #118 Week 4 Day 2 -
For today, I have this version of poha with spiced up paneer and mixed vegetables. I found this version appeals to many paneer lovers.
Thanks to Priya Srinivasan for this inspiration. I have tried different combination of vegetables and all of the versions were just the same and made my love for poha stronger. :)

My hubby will love this version of poha , he likes such wholesome dishes . Very well presented too .
I love poha and I love Paneer. This is such an awesome idea to combine both. That will be a great dish for breakfast.
Such an awesome idea to add paneer to the poha. Love the sound of it..
This too has been on my list to try ever since I saw Priya's post. The paneer addition surely makes the poha richer and yummier.
