Healthy Baked Poha

Poha came into my breakfast life from my marriage. I know and accept that Poha in its original form itself is a light and healthy. But I got really bored eating the regular Poha twice a week that I desperately wanted to experiment. And then I came across this super-healthy recipe.

Baked Poha is a more delicious and healthy version of the original Poha recipe. It is a much simpler recipe, completely different in taste / colour from the regular Poha. My health-freak hubby n my little angel loves it!

The ingredients for Baked Poha are:
1. Poha : 1 1/2 cup
2. Yogurt : 6Tbsp
3. Semolina : 1Tbsp
4. Sugar : 1tsp
5. Green chilli : 2
6. Lemon juice : 2tsp
7. Fresh Coriander : 2Tbsp
8. Salt : to taste

The ingredients for Tempering are :
1. Oil : 2tsp
2. Mustard seeds (Rye) : 1/2 tsp
3. Asafoetida (Hing) : a pinch
