Poha Masala Cakes

These Poha Cakes are the perfect combination of crispy on the outside and creamy and bursting with flavour on the inside!

Poha (chipped or flattened rice) has so many nutritional benefits from being packed with iron to high fibre including the fact it’s also gluten free. It’s definitely a must have in any Indian pantry, something to have on hand for breakfast or brunch, and always filling.

With all these benefits, it is also so easy and quick to cook, from the traditional form to even these fun cakes that are great as side dishes or even quick snacks for the whole family.

This recipe is inspired by the amazing Hebbars Kitchen, I’ve made a few changes to be in line with my family’s diet.

  5. Add this to the poha mixture as well as all remaining ingredients and mix well.
