Uttam Rice Flakes (Poha / Aval) Medium | 500g Fresh Pack

Start your day with the nutritious and light taste of Uttam Medium Poha. These flattened rice flakes are the perfect "middle ground" in the poha world—thicker than the paper-thin variety used for dry snacks, yet lighter than thick poha. This makes them ideal for the kitchens of Seven Hills, where they can be quickly transformed into a savory breakfast or a wholesome evening snack without becoming mushy.

Why Uttam Medium Poha is a Pantry Essential:

Poha is essentially parboiled rice that has been flattened into dry flakes. The "Medium" designation ensures a texture that absorbs flavors beautifully while maintaining a distinct "bite."

• Instant & Convenient: No long cooking times required! Medium poha softens in just a 30-second rinse, making it a 10-minute meal solution for busy mornings.

• Natural Iron & Vitamin B Source: The traditional flattening process between iron rollers naturally increases the iron content, making it a great dietary choice for energy and vitality.

• Low-Calorie & Gluten-Free: A light, easily digestible grain that is naturally free from gluten, making it a safe and healthy alternative to wheat-based cereals.

• Probiotic Benefits: The parboiling and drying process makes poha a source of beneficial gut-friendly bacteria, aiding in smooth digestion.

• Satiety without Heaviness: Rich in complex carbohydrates, it provides a slow release of energy to keep you full without the post-meal "slump."

Best Ways to Enjoy:

1. Classic Kanda Poha: Rinse the poha, then toss it with sautéed onions (Kanda), green chilies, turmeric, and Selco Brown Mustard Seeds. Finish with a squeeze of lemon and fresh coriander.

2. Indori Style: Steam the rinsed poha and top it with fennel seeds, pomegranate pearls, and a generous handful of Lijjat Papad (crushed) or sev.

3. Sweet "Dahi-Chiura": A traditional Himalayan favorite! Mix the flakes with yogurt (Dahi), bananas, and a touch of jaggery for a cooling, no-cook meal.

4. Crunchy Cutlets: Mix softened poha with mashed potatoes, Century Chat Masala, and herbs to create crispy, pan-fried vegetable tikkis.

Preparation Tip:

The Rinse Rule: Unlike thick poha, medium poha should never be soaked. Place the flakes in a colander and rinse under running water for 15–20 seconds, then let them rest for 5 minutes. This ensures they stay fluffy and "Danedar" (separate) rather than sticky.
