Ingredients
- 2 cups Flattened rice (poha)
- 1 large Onion, finely chopped
- 2 pieces Green chilies, finely chopped
- 10 leaves Curry leaves
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons Cumin seeds
- 0.25 cups Peanuts
- 2 tablespoons Oil
- 0.25 cups Coriander, chopped
- 1 large Lemon
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the flattened rice (poha) under running water in a colander until soft. Ensure the poha is not soggy and waterlogged. Let it sit to drain any excess water.
Step 2
Heat the oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Add peanuts and sauté them until they are slightly golden and crunchy. Remove and keep aside.
Step 3
In the same pan, add mustard seeds. Once they start to crackle, add cumin seeds and curry leaves. Sauté for a few seconds.
Step 4
Add chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent.
Step 5
Stir in the chopped green chilies and turmeric powder. Mix well to incorporate the flavors.
Step 6
Add the softened poha to the pan and gently mix everything together. Ensure the poha is evenly coated with the yellow color from the turmeric.
Step 7
Add the sautéed peanuts back into the poha mixture. Mix gently.
Step 8
Cover the pan and let it cook for 2-3 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 9
Squeeze the juice of a large lemon over the poha and mix well.
Step 10
Garnish with freshly chopped coriander before serving.
Step 11
Serve warm as a nutritious and delicious breakfast or snack.
