About Fried flattened rice

Fried flattened rice, a popular dish in South Asian cuisine, is made from flattened rice flakes known as "poha." These flakes are lightly soaked and then stir-fried with aromatic spices, onions, green chilies, turmeric, and fresh vegetables like peas or carrots. It's often garnished with peanuts, coriander, and a squeeze of lime for added flavor. This quick and versatile dish offers a balance of taste and nutrition. Flattened rice is low in fat, easily digestible, and a source of carbohydrates, making it an energy-boosting meal. When loaded with vegetables, it provides essential vitamins and fiber. However, the addition of oil and fried peanuts can increase its calorie and fat content, so portion control is key. Suitable for breakfast or as a light snack, fried flattened rice is a satisfying and wholesome option when prepared mindfully.
