- Vegetables: You can add other vegetables like carrot, capsicum (bell pepper), or boiled potatoes for extra nutrition and flavor.
- Spices: Feel free to adjust the amount of green chilies or chili powder depending on your spice preference. You can also add a pinch of garam masala for extra flavor.
- Vegan Version: This recipe is naturally vegan, but if you want a richer version, you can add a dollop of ghee or a bit of cream.
- Texture: If you prefer your bread poha to be a bit crunchy, reduce the cooking time after adding the bread and stir less frequently. You can also toast the bread first before adding it to the pan.
