My undying love for POHA

So I am half Maharashtrian coz I spent 20 years of my life in Mumbai and now after 12 years am back to Bombay and then I am about to marry a half Maharastrian, but more on that later, coming back to my love for poha. Poha is a common breakfast snack in Maharashtra, they have two varieties of it, 'kaande pohe' which is poha with onions and 'batate pohe' which is poha with potatoes.

I discovered my love for poha in Delhi amazingly when I started living with putey and she would occasionally bless me and Suchi with poha, with potatoes which she would promptly pick out and leave in my plate and peanuts (have to write a post on my undying love for peanuts too!) and then whenever we were on some trip towards alibag/pune etc there is a small stopover where you get the best poha in the world (or so i thought), its called Dattaguru snacks.

Recently I started appearing in a case before the Indore High Court and thats when I discovered indorey poha. OMG I love the way they make it, its just a bit sweet and is served with chopped onions, indorey sev and a dry masala. Its just amazing,  have been for this case 4 times I think and all I have the entire day is poha at the high court canteen or at the LIC canteen opposite the high court. Its worth a try for sure. And actually one is suppose to have jalebis after it, but that is something I havent tried...yet.
