GHEE FRIED POHA|SWEET FRIED POHA

GHEE FRIED POHA|SWEET FRIED POHA
How many of you crave for a simple munch on or a “karack morak” snack at times? I do at times. I control myself saying snacking is bad most of the times. But when I am out of control I prefer making some instant snacks at home and have few spoons. One such instant quick snack is this recipe. I honestly didn’t know how to name the dish.

Iron is an important nutrient which helps the red blood cells to deliver oxygen to the body and help in building the nervous system and brain. Without enough iron human body tends to end up getting anaemic and this hinders the growth of the cells in the body. Today’s post is a collection of foods rich in iron along with detailed recipes.
