Indian Style Veg Poha – vegan

Poha is flattened rice or beaten rice , Veg poha is quick and easy Indian breakfast recipe. Veg poha is light weight and low fat food, good for health too. Veg poha is made of Flattern rice which is avaible in market in many options , thin, thick and medium. I like to use thick poha, which can be washed and soaked properly. But if thick poha is not available, thin or medium poha can be used but need not to soak(avoid breakage) just wash it and use.
