Broccoli Poha

Poha is one of my favourites. We in south call it Aval Upma. As I have mentioned before my husband is not a big fan of Poha, mainly cause of the dryness. I have been trying to experiment with a few different varieties to make it interesting for him. This is another variety that I tried. Do check out the other versions that I prepared.
