Batata Poha, also known as Aloo Poha, is a popular and delicious Indian breakfast or snack dish made from flattened rice (poha) and potatoes (batata).

Batata Poha starts with thin flattened rice, which is gently washed and drained to soften it without losing its shape. In a pan, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and curry leaves are tempered in oil or ghee to release their aromatic flavors. Diced potatoes are then added and cooked until tender. Next, the softened flattened rice is added to the pan along with turmeric powder, salt, and sometimes a touch of sugar for balance. The mixture is gently tossed until the spices are evenly distributed and the potatoes and flattened rice are well coated.

This dish is not only flavorful and satisfying but also quick and easy to prepare, making it a favorite choice for breakfast or as a light meal any time of the day.
