Poha is Flattened rice, which is rice flattened into light, dry flakes. Rice is parboiled before flattening so that it can be consumed with very little to no cooking. This may come as a surprise to many, but poha is good probiotic food too. This is because the dish is made by parboiling paddy and then drying it out in the sun for a few hours. After this, the dried product is beaten flat to make poha. The finished product has undergone fermentation and hence retains the microbial flora from the partially digested carbs and proteins, which is healthy for the gut.
In North Karnataka, poha is used to make a health drink to soothe stomach ailments, as explained by the chef at the homestay when we visited Gokarna. Do try this recipe for a quick breakfast idea.
