Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 small potato chopped thin
- 1 small onion chopped small
- 1 small tomato chopped small
- 1 small `Carrot chopped small
- 2 teaspoon fresh curry leaves (Kadi Patta)
- ¼ cup peanuts
- 3 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Haldi powder (Turmeric)
- 1 teaspoon red chilli powder
- 1 pinch Heeng (Asafoetida) optional
- 1 teaspoon Mustard Seeds (Black Rai)
- 4 cups poha I have used Rajdhani Brand
- ½ cup milk optional
- salt as per taste
Instructions
- Rinse the poha under cold running water for about 10-15 seconds. Ensure each flake is moistened but not soaking wet. Drain and let it rest in a colander for 5-10 minutes. Note: This step is important and shall be done first as poha becomes soft after it absorbs moisture. You may soak it in milk for the ultimate soft texture.
- In a pan, roast the peanuts on medium heat until they are golden brown and crisp. Set aside. If you are adding potatoes, roast them till browned and keep aside to add later.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the pan. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add the chopped curry leaves, green chilies, onions and cook until they turn golden brown. Add carrots and cook on slow flame for 3-5 minutes.
- Add tomatoes and cook till they are softened. Add Spices and salt. Mix well. Add fried peanuts and potatoes.
- Add the drained poha to the pan. Mix gently with the vegetables and spices to ensure it is well coated. Add salt to taste. Turn off the heat. Let it sit for 5 min.
- Garnish with your favorite namkeen for an added crunch, lemon juice, cilantro and onions. Serve the Poha hot and enjoy!
Notes
- Rinse poha gently under cold water, just enough to soften it but avoid soaking it, so it doesn’t get mushy. Adding milk while soaking is optional, but really makes very soft poha.
- Serve it hot as it might become very chewy when kept for long.
- Leftovers can be stored in a dry container with a lid at room temperature to be consumed the same day. Just warm by sprinkling a little water when eating again.
