Sushla

Sushla is a breakfast dish made out of puffed rice. Puffed rice is immersed in water and immediately taken out, squeezed and cooked. Onion is must for this dish but you can also add tomato and green peas along with onion.

Many a times I make sushla for breakfast as everyone in my family likes it. I would have never thought of blogging about this dish if my brother in law had not asked me too.
