Healthy Aval/Poha/Red Rice Flakes breakfast recipe with step by step photos! This simple yet healthy dish makes for a great breakfast that can be stirred up quickly on a busy morning. Aval is a common and simple element that is generally used in a variety of Indian dishes whether in the form of breakfast or a snack. It contains fiber and minerals. Here I bring a recipe that I usually make at my home for breakfast once or twice a week. In this recipe, I have added grated carrot, coconut, pomegranate pearls and jaggery to make it healthier for all ages. You can also serve it as a snack for your kids. So friends try this out and share your comments!
Health benefits of Red Rice Flakes:
Red rice flakes, with their low glycemic index, spell great news for those with obesity, pre-diabetes, diabetes and even a heart condition. This wonder grain is so rich in fiber that consuming a cup of red rice is sure to fill you up till your mid-day meal, and without having the need to munch on unhealthy evening alternatives. Good fiber content means a strong digestive system and that is also due to the development of probiotic bacteria in your digestive system. It is one of the best sources of healthy carbohydrates. It provides a good amount of energy to the body for its daily activity. This Poha is also a rich source of iron and hence pregnant women are advised to include this in their regular diets.
