SDLC 110 Cultural Post #5 (Hindi) - Poha!

     India is known for its spices and delicious foods. While I do not personally enjoy spicy-hot food, I do love otherwise flavorful food! Last week I tried a new Indian dish called khatta meetha poha, which means "sour-sweet poha". Poha is essentially a rice dish made out of flattened rice flakes, and is often eaten for a savory breakfast. The poha I had was flavored with Raisins, Peanuts, Onion, Green Chilli, Curry Leaves, Turmeric, Dry Mango Powder, Cumin, Mustard. I was a little worried that that combination of flavors wouldn't taste good together, but lo and behold - it was delicious!! Here is a picture (not my own) so you can see what poha looks like.
