Aman Palod

Half a world away in Victoria, I find comfort in a humble dish that always makes me nostalgic for home: poha.

These flattened rice flakes, mixed with robust Indian spices, diced onions, a dash of lime, and a sprinkle of coriander, bring back memories of lazy mornings in my hometown of Indore. The best part? The crispy noodles, or ‘sev,’ sprinkled on top, adding a perfect crunch to every bite.

 it’s reassuring to know that the ingredients for making poha are mostly available in Victoria. With just a quick 5-10 minutes of cooking, I can recreate the flavors of home with ease.

It’s comforting to know that no matter how far I go, a taste of home is never too far away
