If you want to make poha for 1 person take very little vegetables to make 1 cup vegetable after chopping it . when you r making mix veg poha you have to reduce the quantity of poha which you take usually for 1 person ,as veggies mixed in poha makes it almost double in quantity .

Brown poha are very nutritious and if you’re on dieting or diabetic this poha are very healthy for you. Well you can try out the same mix veg poha recipe with brown poha .

I like my poha very soft so I soak it for 2-3 minutes in water and drain in a colander. I use thick poha to make my poha perfect, thin poha becomes very soggy. if you want to make poha from thin poha don’t soak it in water , just take it in colander and sprinkle little water on it and mix it .
