If u have travelled by train (which we did a lot of) you know what those words mean and how your heart starts thumping waiting for the first sight of the oily delicious deep fried balls of joy.

I lived in Goa for a bit and travelled back to Bombay at every opportunity I got. Loved to take the Konkan Kanya as every half hr the most delicious dishes would tempt u. Miss that train


Getting back to today’s post. My sons school menu has poha as an option for today. Bored of the same old poha. So made ALU POHA VADAS in my favourite appey pan. Using a drop of oil, the crispy outer cover gives a wonderful variation and texture to an old dish.
