Nagpur: 'World Poha Day' is celebrated every year on 7th June. On this day there is talk about the culture of this Marathi breakfast and its benefits. Although Poha is made in different ways throughout Maharashtra, from Indore to Bhopal, Nagpur is famous for its 'Tari Poha'. While poha is dry elsewhere, in Nagpur it is served with a spicy curry or gravy. On this occasion, a well-known chef has created a new record by preparing 3000 kg of Poha simultaneously.

World record made on World Poha Day

• Let us tell you that Maharashtra's famous chef Vishnu Manohar has tried to create a new world record on Sunday. On the occasion of 'World Poha Day', he prepared Nagpur's famous 'Tari Poha', that too not in one or two kilos, but more than 3,000 kilos.
• Chef Manohar told ANI, "The most special thing about this record is that it is my Nagpur's 'Tari Poha'. I want to tell the world how much power 'Tari Poha' has. Today is World Poha Day and this event is being organized on that occasion.

Mission started at 2:30 in the morning, history was made at 6 o'clock?

• Talking about his world record attempt, Chef Manohar said that he started making this dish in a very big pan at 2:30 in the morning and completed it by 6 in the morning. After this, this Poha was distributed free among all the people so that everyone could taste it.
• Hundreds of kilos of material were used to make it. According to Chef Manohar, he used 600 kg poha, 400 kg desi gram, 500 kg onion, 300 kg oil and 100-100 kg ginger, garlic, coriander powder and cumin powder.

How is Tari Poha different from other Pohas?

• The Master Chef said that he wants to make this local dish of Nagpur recognized across the world through this world record.
• On how Latari Poha is different from other pohas, he told that the special thing about 'Tari' is that it contains desi gram. He said, "It provides protein, and as you know, poha contains calcium. It is so nutritious that after eating it you can skip a whole meal."
• Emphasizing further the health benefits of Poha, he said, "It is very healthy. It gives you calcium, protein and vitamins."
• He said that till date no one has tried to cook 3,000 kg of poha at once, and hence he will send his attempt for official review.
• Chef Manohar and his team have organized many such events across India to promote local cuisine. Earlier in January 2024, on the occasion of the inauguration of Ram Temple in Ayodhya, the chef and his team had tried to create another world record by preparing 5,000 kg of halwa.
