Dahi Pohe

A simple preparation, ready in just about a few minutes. This dish is prepared from ingredients that are readily available in the kitchen. Made usually on 'Janmashtami' or the birthday of lord Krishna for the reason that Krishna is believed to love both Dahi (curds) and pohe (Flat beaten rice) a lot .
