Aval (Poha/beaten rice) Soya

By now you would have noticed that I love everything about Poha. Some form of the soya is a must for me at least once a day as that is good source of protein for vegetarian. When I was thinking about what to pack for my lunch tomorrow I was thinking why not mix my 2 favourites together. It tasted wonderful and it is very healthy too
