Red Poha

Red Poha is a popular breakfast side in Konkani Cuisine. The masala used in this is readily available in some towns of Karnataka. If you do not have the masala, you can prepare it as shown in this post. Here is the recipe straight out of my Mom's Kitchen.

Coconut - 1 cup

Mustard seeds - 1 tsp

Thin Poha - 2 cup
