- 0.25 cup Peanuts
- 1 teaspoon Mustard Seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric Powder
- 10 leaves Curry Leaves
- 0.5 large Lemon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Cilantro
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the thick poha under running water in a colander until it turns soft. Drain well and let it sit aside.
Step 2
Peel and dice the potato into small cubes. Finely chop the onion and green chili.
Step 3
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and let them crackle.
Step 4
Add the peanuts and sauté until they begin to turn golden brown.
Step 5
Add the diced potatoes and cook them until done, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 6
Add the chopped onions, green chili, and curry leaves. Sauté until the onions become translucent.
Step 7
Sprinkle turmeric powder and salt over the mixture in the pan, stirring to coat evenly.
Step 8
Add the softened poha into the pan. Mix everything gently to avoid breaking the poha.
