Banarasi chura mattar is a delicious and healthy breakfast or evening snack which is popular and made in many homes in Uttar Pradesh during winter. A traditional and authentic Uttar Pradesh delicacy made with beaten rice and green peas.

It is also popularly known as Banarasi poha or chura mattar and typically served as street food. Poha recipes are common across India and are generally used to make breakfast recipes.

But then there are regional variations from it which are purpose-based recipes. One such easy and healthy poha recipe is chura mattar recipe.

Chura mattar is made differently in both Up and Bihar. In Up, the making of chura mattar resembles the preparation of Maharashtrian kanda poha, whereas in Bihar the poha in fried and somewhat like a poha chiwda.

The taste of chura mattar is very different from poha recipe. If you are bored of making poha the usual way, try this simple yet detectable poha prepared in a royal way called chura mattar. It is loaded with desi ghee, milk, and garam masala making it very flavourful.
