MAPPILLAI SAMBA AVAL RECIPE / THICK RED RICE POHA RECIPE

Red poha or flattened red rice is made from red rice. Thick beaten rice absorbs more liquids and hence retains the flavors. This is nutritionally superior when compared to white poha. Red poha is made from red rice with partial husk and hence richer in dietary fiber.
