Chhaya Shah

Chhaya Shah, my friend kindly shared her recipe for Poha Cutlets. We met when we both lived at the same apartment complex in Kansas, several years ago. Over the years Chhaya has introduced me to several interesting dishes, including burritos, sabhudhana, mixed pepper curry and most recently Poha cutlets. Here is another delicious, easy &. quick recipe from Chhaya for Sautéed Bell Peppers. Other recipes from Chhaya will be featured as well.

She is a devoted mother and she works with little children at a pre-school. She enjoys cooking and mentioned that Poha cutlets is one of the favorite foods of her daughter. These cutlets are made from the flaky rice grains, Poha. Click on this link which briefly describes,
