The perfect Indian brunch… Bread Poha prepared with bread and Indian masala.
After making this Rotini with Creamy Mushroom Sauce that you all seem to love (thank you very much), I figured it was time to take a turn to the far east and spice things up in the kitchen.
Enter, Bread Poha! The idea is pretty genius… just take some bread and toss it with some Indian masala, and then allow the bread to soak up all the spices.
This highly aromatic recipe comes to you from Kiran who takes the most unbelievably beautiful & artistic photos that had me salivating, and I just had to resort to making this dish.
In comparison to Kiran’s recipe, I used less bread, less tomato, added more Indian spices and served my poha with this cilantro chutney. So delicious, especially with the chutney.
It’s the perfect Indian brunch with a hot cup of chai on a rainy afternoon. Hope you try it.

Wow this looks yum. Have to try. Never thought to use bread. We usually make poha with flattened rice.
Jahnavi – I usually make Poha the traditional way as well, the bread masala mixture is a unique twist on a classic. Hope you try it.
This is such a easy recipe! love it and will definitely be a good hit on weekends!
Hope you try it, let me know how it turns out.
I have never tried or heard of bread poha, sounds like a brilliant idea for a warm dish instead of eating toast ! I just made the traditional style poha, which I love and now will try this recipe. I love the recipes you choose to post, this will be the second one I am trying so far 🙂
Amelia – you would love this dish, it's like Indian Fusion. I love traditional poha too. 🙂
I've never tried bead poha, but it sounds delicious, love everything about the dish!
Hope you try it, it's like a savory bread pudding.
Yours is the third bread poha recipe that i have come across over the past two days…i guess it is some sort of divine signal to me to try this asap 😉
Lovely clicks and a very tempting poha.
easyfoodsmith – This recipe must be floating around the internet. You should try it, it's so yummy!
Love bread, love potatoes, and am totally missing the desi spices in my cooking these days. Needless to say, I'll be making this soon 🙂
Thanks.. I don't cook Indian food as often either, it's sooooooooo much effort when you are working full time. This is awesome to make for a weekend brunch. 🙂
