Dahi Poha

Today my recipe is  very nutritious and tasty Dahi poha. Poha, is one of the nutrient choice for breakfast, My hubby is fond of this dish. At least twice in a week I prepare it for him. It is very easy to make. This is the best replacement to curd rice for non eaters. This is a ideal breakfast in summer. Poha is light on the stomach and easy to digest. It is a source of instant energy on account of the rice content. Peanuts contained in Poha are good source of protein and antioxidants, and also considered good for the heart. Curd has high vitamin and calcium contents with protein. Consuming curd increases the capacity to absorb the nutrients and minerals form other food stuffs. Curd keeps digestive system healthy, has more Vitamin B Complex than milk. Studies have suggested that consumption of curd might help reduce the risk of high blood pressure. I made dahi poha along with some vegetables like capsicum,tomato and onions. You can add your favorite vegetables also. I used as raw vegetables so it was tasty and healthy too. I think this is the best food for kids to older people.    I hope you follow my recipe.........Enjoy cooking..........
