Provenance

Poha, popular in Maharashtra and parts of Madhya Pradesh, is said to have come into its own during the reign of the Holkar and Scindia dynasty, its fame spreading with the expansion of their rule. Some experts believe there is a reference to poha in the Mahabharata, when Sudama goes into his home to get the last grains of beaten rice, Krishna’s favourite, for his childhood friend. Every household has its own recipe, and you can make yours nutritious by adding vegetables of choice and dry spices.
