About Malpoha

Malpoha is a traditional South Asian breakfast dish made primarily from flattened rice, known as "poha." Originating in Indian cuisine, malpoha is prepared by lightly washing poha and sautéing it with flavorful ingredients like mustard seeds, curry leaves, turmeric, onions, green chilies, and vegetables such as peas or carrots. Often garnished with fresh cilantro, lemon juice, and sometimes peanuts, malpoha is a quick and wholesome meal rich in carbohydrates, making it an excellent source of energy. It is low in fat and can be tailored for added nutrition by including more vegetables or opting for minimal oil. However, some versions may increase calorie content if prepared with heavy oil or additional fried toppings. Malpoha is gluten-free and easily digestible, making it suitable for sensitive stomachs. This versatile dish combines vibrant flavors with simple, nutrient-packed ingredients for a satisfying start to the day.
