Perfect for rushed mornings in Harrow, office desk lunches, university study sessions, or any time you need a satisfying Indian meal without the cooking hassle.

This isn't just instant noodles with Indian spices thrown in. MTR has captured the authentic taste of homemade poha - the beloved Indian breakfast millions enjoy daily - in a convenient cup format. The flattened rice comes pre-seasoned with mustard seeds, curry leaves, turmeric and peanuts for that genuine taste that reminds you of home.

  • No cooking required: No stove, no pan, no cleanup - just a kettle and a spoon
  • Portable convenience: Take to office, university, travel, camping - anywhere you have hot water access
  • Single serving 80g: Perfect portion for one person, no leftovers or waste
  • Lightweight & compact: Easy to store in desk drawer, backpack or kitchen cupboard
  • MTR trusted quality: From India's most respected ready-to-eat brand

What is Poha?

Poha, also called flattened rice or beaten rice, is one of India's most popular breakfast dishes. It's made from rice that's been parboiled, flattened and dried into light, quick-cooking flakes. When properly prepared, poha is fluffy, light and incredibly satisfying - not heavy like fried breakfast but substantial enough to keep you full until lunch.

Traditional poha is made by tempering mustard seeds, curry leaves and turmeric in oil, then tossing with soaked flattened rice, peanuts and sometimes vegetables. It's the go-to breakfast for millions across India because it's light, nutritious, easy to digest and absolutely delicious. MTR has captured this authentic preparation in instant form.

Perfect for Busy Modern Lifestyles

Rushed Weekday Mornings

When you've hit snooze too many times and have 5 minutes before leaving for work, MTR Cuppa Poha saves the day. Boil the kettle while getting ready, pour water into the cup, and by the time you've grabbed your bag, breakfast is ready. Eat at home or take it with you - no more skipping breakfast or settling for sad cereal.

Office Desk Lunch Alternative

Tired of expensive meal deals or boring sandwiches? Keep MTR Cuppa Poha in your desk drawer at work. The office kitchen kettle becomes your cooking station. In 3 minutes you have a hot, satisfying Indian meal that tastes infinitely better than another sad desk salad.

University Student Essential

Student accommodation with limited cooking facilities? No problem. As long as you have access to a kettle, you can enjoy proper Indian breakfast. Stack a few cups in your dorm room for those late-night study sessions or early morning lectures when the canteen isn't open yet.

Travel & Hotel Rooms

Most hotel rooms have a kettle but limited food options. Pack a few MTR Cuppa Poha cups in your luggage and you're guaranteed a familiar, tasty meal even when you can't find decent Indian food in the area. Weighs almost nothing, takes minimal space, solves hunger problems.

Emergency Meal Backup

Keep a few cups in the kitchen cupboard for those evenings when grocery shopping didn't happen, cooking feels impossible, or you just need something quick and warm. Much better nutrition and taste than ordering expensive takeaway that takes longer to arrive.

Late Night Snack

Midnight hunger hitting hard? Don't reach for unhealthy crisps or biscuits. MTR Cuppa Poha provides a warm, satisfying snack that's actually food - not empty calories. The peanuts and rice give you proper sustenance.

Authentic Taste Profile

MTR Cuppa Poha delivers genuine Indian breakfast flavours:

  • Turmeric warmth: That characteristic golden colour and earthy flavour base
  • Mustard seed pop: Little bursts of pungent, nutty flavour throughout
  • Curry leaf aroma: That distinctive South Indian fragrance
  • Peanut crunch: Roasted peanuts add texture and protein
  • Mild spice level: Flavourful but not fiery - suitable for most palates
  • Light & fluffy texture: Properly hydrated poha should be soft but not mushy
  • Balanced seasoning: Salt, spice and savory notes well-proportioned

Nutritional Benefits

Poha is considered one of India's healthier breakfast options:

  • Easy to digest: Light on the stomach, perfect for morning meals
  • Quick energy: Carbohydrates provide immediate fuel for your morning
  • Contains protein: Peanuts add protein and healthy fats for balanced nutrition
  • Lighter than fried foods: Not oil-heavy or greasy like some breakfast options
  • Fills you up: Despite being light, poha keeps you satisfied until next meal
  • Better than skipping breakfast: Proper meal with carbs and protein beats nothing

How to Prepare

  1. Boil water: Use kettle or stove to boil approximately 60ml water
  2. Remove inner packet: Take out the seasoning packet from inside the cup
  3. Add boiling water: Pour boiling water into cup up to the indicated mark (approximately 60ml)
  4. Empty packet: Add the poha and masala mix from the packet into the cup
  5. Mix well: Stir thoroughly to distribute spices and hydrate the rice
  6. Close lid and wait: Cover and let it sit for 3 minutes
  7. Mix again: Give it a final stir and enjoy

Pro Tip: For softer poha, add slightly more water. For firmer texture with more bite, use exactly the marked amount.
