      Poha upma  is an very easy upma  which is made with poha(rice flakes) and quite healthy too. We all love this upma and this  will be our morning breakfast during weekend.

This upma we normally have very hot with any pickle as an accompaniment.

Note:

1. You  can add boiled and cubed potatoes to this upma .
2. If adding potatoes add it after sauting the peanuts.

4. If you are using thin poha,just skip the step of soaking in the water for a minute.
