My daughter's favorite tiffin it''s. Aloo poha is a healthy tasty easy to prepare snack and it can be given as a tiffin to school going children and office going husbands :) 

I was in Gujarat when I was carrying my second child. Potato poha is a breakfast dish in Gujarat. I had a craving for this particular food during pregnancy. My husband's friend's wife Kavita used to send me this snack once in a week without fail. So kind of her to do it, i stil remember it with gratitude. That taste never matches with the one i make though.

These lovely plate wooden tray and cute wooden spoons are gift from my friend Jeeva. I just love them. so thought of using it while photographing it :)
