It is a big surprise if you have not heard about Indori Poha. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every place has their own tradition! Indore is famous for so many things but POHA is our favorite. However, in Indore Poha Jalebi is a classic combination and no one eats the poha all by itself. Jalebi must accompany it. To be more traditional try it with jalebis and crunchy namkeen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5. Once the oil is hot, add mustard seeds and fennel seeds.<\/li>
    6. Let them crackle for a few seconds.<\/li>
    7. Add peanuts, green chilli and curry leaves and fry until peanuts turn slightly brown.<\/li>
