While living in Los Angeles with her husband Nick Jonas and their daughter Malti Marie Chopra Jonas, she even posted a photo of poha on Instagram Stories in 2022 with the caption that it "took me back to Mumbai." Priyanka shared a snapshot of herself enjoying poha on Instagram Stories in 2023, along with the caption, "Thank you... for my favorite breakfast... poha for the win!"

Is poha a nutritious breakfast choice?

With few calories and a nutritious breakfast option, poha brings Priyanka back to her time in Mumbai. It's also tasty when prepared with Indian spices like mustard seeds, curry leaves, and peanuts.

"There aren't many calories in poha. Its roughly 76.9 percent carbohydrate content and 23 percent fat content make it one of the best options for losing weight. In addition to being high in fiber, which makes you feel fuller for longer, it also helps control mid-meal cravings and prevents overeating, according to Siva Teja Gadepalli, a nutritionist on the online medical consultation platform Lybrate, in a 2018 interview with HT Lifestyle.

"Poha is a nutritious dish. It's high in fiber, iron, carbs, antioxidants, and vital vitamins, and it's also gluten-free. It is well-known to be beneficial for people with diabetes, skin issues, and heart ailments. According to Priyannka Aashu Singh, a nutritionist with Portea Medical, one may increase the protein content of food by adding peanuts and sprouted legumes.
