Rice flakes fried rice

Poha veg fried rice with Video, the popular Indo Chinese recipe made using rice and veggies. I replaced rice with poha| aval in tamil | rice flakes and it turned out quite well. As it is very simple and easy to make it is a bachelor friendly recipe too. Few months back when i was chatting with my cousin, she told she won a cookery competition,themed Poha recipes and Poha fried rice was made by her friend. The idea was so interesting and i wanted to try it at home. I got Getti aval | Thick poha from the nearby Indian shop and made it today. I served it for kids and was waiting for their feedback, but they were busy eating the fried rice. When i asked about them they said it is nice as always, and when i said it is made with poha and not rice, they were surprised. We couldn't find any difference with the addition of poha in the veg fried rice. Try this at home and let me know how it turned out. Also check:
