Skipping breakfast should never be an option. For busy mornings, you can always rely on making masala poha. All it requires is flattened rice, peanuts, veggies, and spices and is ready to serve in just 15 minutes.
1.5 cups flattened rice 1 tablespoon oil 2 tablespoons roasted peanuts ½ teaspoon mustard seeds 10 curry leaves ¼ cup chopped onion ¼ cup peas ¼ cup chopped tomato ½ teaspoon turmeric powder ¼ teaspoon red chilli powder Salt to taste Lemon juice for garnishing
Rinse the flattened rice till they soften a bit, and set it aside.
Heat some oil and sauté mustard seeds, curry leaves, and chopped onion.
Mix in peas, chopped tomatoes, turmeric powder, salt, and red chilli powder.
When the tomatoes are soft, add rinsed flattened rice and mix well.
Cook for about five minutes and garnish with roasted peanuts and lemon juice. Serve hot.
