Zucchini Poha

Goodness in disguise..On a busy working day morning I realized there is no enough ingredients to prepare thalipeeth. The previous night I went to sleep dreaming of a delicious thalipeeth which I am going to prepare using zucchini which I bought from the Organic farm in Qatar. I was lost when I found there is no rice and chickpea flour at home. Then I found half packet of beaten rice, which actually saved me.

I decided to alter the recipe and the verdict was soft and tasty zucchini poha. Poha is a snack or breakfast made with beaten rice. I have posted a recipe before. You could find the recipe here
