Poha

Thick variety poha

Large white onion

Turmeric powder

Mustard seeds

Medium Potato

Peanuts

Curry leaves

Green chili

Peanut oil

Salt To Taste

Garnishing

Few sprigs of fresh coriander

Lemon

Rinse the poha in a sieve, under tap water for 1-2 minutes till they soften. Leave them aside.

step 1

They should lose their crunchiness and when you break them between your finger, they should easily get crushed or mashed.

step 2

Shallow fry the peanuts in a pan with oil on a medium flame for 1-2 minutes till they become crunchy. Remove the peanuts from the pan with a perforated spoon and set aside to cool, retain the oil.

step 3

In the same pan, heat up the oil and add the mustard seeds. As the mustard seeds cook, they will start spluttering and make a crackling sound. This is a good indication that they are cooked completely.

step 4

Add the onions and cook until translucent or for about 3-4 minutes.

step 5

Add curry leaves and green chilies and cook further for about 1-2 minutes.

step 6

Add the potatoes and turmeric powder, cook until they are slightly soft but still holding their shape well.

step 7

step 8

To the pan with the rest of the ingredients, add the poha, and sprinkle salt and sugar. Gently mix with a spoon, making sure not to break the poha as much as possible.

step 9

Cover with a lid and cook further for another 2 minutes on a very small flame, mixing gently with a spoon.

step 10

Turn off the flame and sprinkle the lemon juice and chopped fresh coriander, while stirring gently. Put the lid back and let the poha slowly cook further for 5-6 minutes, without flame.
