As a food blogger sometimes we play with existing dishes to tweak them, sometimes we create a signature recipe out of nowhere and other times we just love to share some authentic dishes which we have already made a countless number of times. Isn’t it?
It means we create so many brand new recipes. And some of them are only cooked twice. First time when we create it for testing and if the dish is successful then we cook it the second time to post at our online real estate. And sometimes we never cook this same recipe again.
It’s not because we don’t love what we share here, but we don’t have that much time because we need to keep trying new ones. I know that’s sad. 🙁
And it’s such a rare scenario when we make exactly the same dish so many times. Everytime any big or a small change we make in our dishes, they feel like totally new. Playing with our dishes and exploring new ingredients is in our blood. Isn’t it? That’s what we love to do.
And today’s dish is one of such rare dishes which I have almost always made exactly the same way.
This Tortilla poha is inspired by my Mom’s Roti poha which she cooks with leftover chapati. A delicious dish made from leftover Roti, phulka or chapatis. Tortilla/Roti Poha is a dish which is made of flat bread crumbs cooked with veggies and spices.
This makes a perfect breakfast or brunch.
I made this poha exactly the way my Mom cooks. I only replaced the traditional roti with tortilla. This poha tastes wonderful by itself, but I love to enjoy it with a bit more of flavor punch.
This extra flavor comes from salsa. This salsa is what completes this poha. It’s sweet, spicy and has just a nice crunch of peanut and flavor of fresh cilantro. It’s probably one of my favorite ways to complete a meal.
And to be honest, I could totally just eat this salsa like salad. Yes, it is that good!! YUM!
This kiwi peanut salsa is super simple and quick to prepare. You just combine kiwis, roasted peanuts, tomatoes, jalapenos, garlic, cilantro, onion, salt, hot salsa sauce, lemon juice and honey. Then toss everything together. So simple, right? And refrigerate.
The best part is, this meal is completely VEGAN and ready to serve in less than 30 minutes. A perfect meal for such times when you just need a quick dinner and there’s nothing already present in the fridge.
Try this meal. Serve this dish along with a steaming cup of tea/coffee.
And trust me, it’s going to become your best summer meal bowl! Spiced Tortilla and Kiwi salsa FTW! A complete WINNER.
