Cashew Oats (Poha)

Cashew Oats (Poha)


Perfect an easy-to-digest meal! Traditionally Poha (also known as Chiura in Nepalese home) is used for this recipe, but I am using organic rolled oats. Poha is flattened rice, which is partially boiled or roasted in the flattening process. This makes it fast to cook and very easy to digest.
