Poha
Poha, also known as flattened rice, is a quick, healthy and wholesome breakfast meal from the Western parts of India. It is mostly commonly served with some extra sev, bhujia or spicy peanuts as toppings.
Ingredients:
1.5 cup poha
1 tsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp oil
2 tbsp peanuts
1/2 cup frozen peas
1 tsp mustard
few curry leaves
1 onion, finely chopped
2 chili, finely chopped
1/4 tsp turmeric
2 tbsp coriander, finely chopped
2 tsp lemon juice
Method:
1. Take poha in a colander and wash under running water. Once washed, give it a quick toss and let it sit in the colander to drain out the excess water.
2. In a pan, heat 2 tbsp oil and roast 2 tbsp peanuts on low flame. Roast until the peanuts turn crunchy. Once done, take them out with a slotted spoon and keep aside.
3. In the same oil, splutter 1 tsp mustard, and few curry leaves.
4. Now add 1 onion, 2 chili and saute onions till they turn slightly pink.
5. Now add peas and sauté for 5-7 minutes till the peas soften.
6. Add ¼ tsp turmeric and roasted peanuts and mix well.
7. Next up, add the washed poha and mix gently until everything is combined well.
8. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes or until the flavors are absorbed well.
9. Now add sugar, 2 tbsp coriander, 2 tsp lemon juice and mix gently.
Your poha is now ready! Serve hot just as it is or top it with some sev, bhujia or extra spicy peanuts!
