For a tasty protein boost that melds well with spices and gives your poha a creamy texture, toss in some lightly sautéed paneer cubes.

Add the chopped boiled eggs to the hot poha. They provide excellent taste and texture as well as a healthy serving of protein in the morning.

For a satisfying and nourishing plant-based protein alternative to meat, soak and roast soy chunks until they are crispy, then stir them into your poha.

Moong sprouts are light and high in protein. To maintain crunch and increase nutrition, add them to poha near the end of cooking.
