Ingredients
- 2 cups Flattened rice (poha)
- 1 cup Water
- 1.5 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 pieces Green chilies, finely chopped
- 1 medium Red onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Frozen green peas, thawed
- 1 medium Carrot, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt substitute (optional)
- 0.25 cup Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- 1 whole Lemon, cut into wedges
- 0.25 cup Unsalted roasted peanuts
Directions
Step 1
Place the flattened rice in a large colander and rinse it under running water. Set it aside to drain completely.
Step 2
In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds, letting them splutter.
Step 3
Add the chopped green chilies and onions to the pan. Sauté until the onions become translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the turmeric powder, green peas, and grated carrot. Cook for another 2 minutes, ensuring the vegetables are coated with the spices.
Step 5
Add the drained poha to the pan and mix gently to combine everything evenly. If using a salt substitute, add it at this stage and mix well.
Step 6
Lower the heat and cover the pan. Let it cook for 3-4 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 7
Once cooked, turn off the heat and garnish the pohe with chopped coriander leaves and roasted peanuts.
Step 8
Serve hot with fresh lemon wedges on the side for an extra zing. Enjoy your healthy low sodium pohe!
