Description

Poha is also know ans flattened rice and is easily available in a Poha has many variations, but this one takes the cake in terms of taste. This is super delectable dish. Poha is every North Indian's favorite breakfast with cup of tea. It's also a very healthy dish, no much spices as well. Sometimes, you can top this Poha with grated carrot or finely chopped tomatoes with some lemon wedges. I generally use the thick version of the Poha, if you donot have that the thin version will also do. Note: Rinse the poha in a cleaning water several times and then keep it in strainer so that remaining water gets released and also it should absorb the water to become soft but nit mushy. Now, add little turmeric powder, salt and sugar. Gently mix them.Keep it aside til you ready other items.


Directions


  1. Firstly, we will start with frying the cubed potatoes. If you want a healthier version of the poha, you can even boil the potatoes in a different vessel with some salt. I usually fry them.
  2. After frying, i also fry the peanuts. That enhances the taste. You can also roast the peanuts till crunchy.
  3. Keep both these ingredients aside. And now, heat some oil in a deep bottomed pan, Kadhai.
  4. Add the mustard seeds. Let them crackle.
  5. Add the broken red chili and curry leaves.
  6. Add the finely chopped onions. Fry till translucent.
  7. Add the green peas now and Cashew & Raisins. (Kaju and kishmish)
  8. Fry for a minute.
  9. Add the slit green chili.
  10. Add the spices. Turmeric powder and salt.
  11. Add the Poha which is rinsed well and coated with little turmeric, salt and little sugar. Mix well.
  12. Now add the cubed potatoes and peanuts. Mix them well.
  13. Now cover the pan and let the poha cook for two- three minutes.
  14. Add the grated coconut and coriander leaves.
  15. Add the salt and sugar. Mix well.
  16. Poha is ready to be served. It can be served with tomato ketchup.
  17. Serve it hot or warm.
