Poha Upma/chire diye upma

Poha is a great breakfast or snacks idea, which is not only filling but also extremely healthy. Poha is packed with nutrients, low on gluten, is easy on digestion and light on stomach — making it a healthy snack option for health and weight watchers. I make this version of poha (which I call Poha Upma) quiet a lot at home and it is a healthy breakfast idea for us at home.
