Celeb Nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar Gushes Over The Goodness of Poha – Check It Out

If we have to name few desi breakfast options, poha will surely be a popular choice on the list. A staple across India- it is light, wholesome and can be prepared in matter of a few minutes. In fact, it is one of those few dishes, which play a significant role in various food cultures. Take Maharashtra’s Kanda poha and Indori poha-jalebi, for instance. These poha recipes define the food habit of the locals of Maharashtra and Indore, respectively. Likewise, there are different other versions of poha recipes across India and we just love trying each of them. It also won’t be an exaggeration to say that we kind of swear by poha, when it comes to a quick and wholesome breakfast. It seems celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar echoes our feelings.

By now, we all know about Rujuta Diwekar’s love for everything desi and organic. She speaks about the goodness of desi ingredients and recipes on her social media handles, every now and then. Keeping up with the tradition, Rujuta recently shared a post on Twitter, speaking about the goodness of poha.
