Iron-rich poha is an all-time favourite breakfast recipe, especially in maharashtra. In fact, poha can be had any time – packed in a box, a snack on the move, or a tea-time accompaniment. While you might be familiar with the common batata poha, green peas poha is a healthier alternative, with fibre-rich green peas. Vitamin c, present in the lemon juice, aids the absorption of iron from the poha, ensuring that you get the most of the nutrients in it.
