Poha rolls are crispy and tasty cylindrical rolls made using poha i.e. flattened rice and boiled potatoes. Crispy poha rolls have the bite of onions and kick of chaat masala, along with the freshness of green coriander and heat of green chillies. Poha rolls can be served for breakfast or along with evening tea. This is an easy Indian snack recipe which can be prepared as appetizers too. These should be served hot.
No points for guessing that poha rolls call for poha. You can use any variety of poha. To bind poha rolls I have added boiled potatoes which not only give good texture to poha rolls but also add taste. For flavouring I have used chaat masala. I use homemade chaat masala as it gives perfect kick to my recipes. The texture of mixture is critical for poha rolls recipe. It should be smooth yet firm. It is important to wash and soak poha properly, at the same time it is important that the water is properly drained out.
Other recipe using poha is recipe for poha palak cutlets. The bite of fried palak i.e. spinach makes all the difference. Find the recipe here. Another kind of rolls is bread rolls. These are liked by one and all. Find the recipe here.
