Potato Poha For Lunch

With the weekend breezing by I was not prepared for Monday morning. This morning I was trying to pack lunch boxes for my family and had very little time to do so. Opening my pantry, I was looking at ingredients to make something. I decided that if I cannot find anything interesting I will resort to upma. Then I found the bottle of avil (poha) and I was convinced that I could make something quick. Its very straight forward recipe and I don't think you can go wrong with the taste. All you have to aim at is a sweet, tangy, spicy and salty taste all mixed together. It gets done is 10 minutes and its with ingredients from your pantry.
