Poha was introduced in Indore a few years after independence by Purshottam Joshi who migrated from Raigarh, Maharashtra to Indore. Indori Poha is famous for its distinctive taste and blend of flavours owing to ingredients like Sev, pomegranate, cardamom, coriander, ginger powder, amchoor etc. Indori pohe-jalebi is another famous dish from Indore, which is just having poha with jalebi.
