Breakfast In Indore With Poha And Khakhra

Breakfast In Indore With Poha And Khakhra

Maharashtra's Vada Pav and Uttar Pradesh's Bedai did not become popular as breakfast in the world as fast as Indore food, "Poha,". Indori Poha, which has made its mark in the kitchen of the house to the street shop and the restaurant's menu card, is Maharashtra's contribution to the city.  Another delectable snack famous in Indore is the khahkra which is Gujarat's contribution to the city’s cuisine.

According to an individual's preference and mood, modifications are done in Poha, making it so popular that when it comes to the taste of poha, 'Indori Poha' comes first. The best part about poha is that it is super flexible, you can add veggies or not according to your preference, and it will still be as good as the one you made differently. The same can be applied to khakhra. While khakra can be had by itself, it is often made more tasty by adding spices and chutneys.

How did Indore get its Poha Identity?

Indore's famous food, "Poha," is originally from Maharashtra. When the Holkar and Scindia dynasties expanded their rule from Maharashtra to Madhya Pradesh, poha was also introduced to the cuisine of Madhya Pradesh. Legend says that Purushottam Joshi of Raigad in Maharashtra came to Indore at his relative's place. At that time, the thought of ​​opening a Poha shop came into Joshi's mind. As soon as the Poha shop opened, the people found it so tasty that they adopted Poha as a food identity of Indore.
