Poha is a Maharashtrian speciality, but if you look at the ingredients used, it is widely popular throughout India with different names. in Maharashtra, the flattened rice (Called Choora in north India) is friends with onions and other spices. this gives a spicy flavour.
You can enjoy Poha in breakfast or have it as an evening Snack. It is equally suitable for bachelors or who are living alone, as it requires very less time to prepare.
I’ve added Peanut which adds awesomeness to the already awesome recipe.
