Western India: Kande Pohe

Western India: Kande Pohe



In the West Indian states of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka and Gujarat, a common breakfast is a dish called kande pohe. This dish is made with flattened rice (or pohe) — dry flakes that absorb liquids easily and are easy to digest. The flakes are roasted with chilies, onions mustard seeds, cumin and curry leaves. Sometimes kande pohe is served with a thick porridge called upma or savory multi-grain pancakes called thalipeeth, served with ghee or yogurt.

13 You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh[a]; rather, serve one another humbly in love. 14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”[b]15 If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
