Poha
Similar to how Idli and Upma are traditional breakfast recipes of Southern India, Poha is traditional and widely preferred breakfast recipe in Western states of India. This recipe is known as Pohe in Maharashtra and Poha in Gujarat and follows the same preparation method with poha (rice flakes) being the main ingredient. Since chopped potato pieces are also usually added to this recipe, this healthy breakfast is also referred as Aloo Pohe and Batata Poha in Maharashtra and Gujarat respectively.
