Indori Poha

Indori Poha is a popular Indian breakfast dish originating from Indore, made with flattened rice (poha) that is rinsed, soaked, and then lightly cooked with mustard seeds, green chilies, turmeric, and curry leaves. It’s commonly garnished with chopped onions, sev (crispy chickpea noodles), peanuts, and fresh coriander, offering a balance of soft, crunchy, spicy, and tangy flavors. Often served with lemon wedges and a side of jalebi (sweet pretzels), Indori Poha is cherished for its flavorful simplicity and satisfying warmth, making it a beloved start to the day in central India.
