POHA CHIVDA SUBZI

A substitute to the Pav bhaji subzi made to serve along with pav or bread.   Poha chivda is normally served as snacks with coffee tea.   when it substitutes the subzi, a nice curry is formed to have it with pav or bread.

Subzis are made with vegetables normally, but this subzi is quite different from the normal subzis.  I made this subzi with the left over poha chivda which was lying in a container for two weeks.  As my husband was about to throw the same, I said keep it.  

I was breaking my head what to do with it and the recipe is here for you viewers.  easy, tasty and lovely subzi which can be served with Pav or bread.
