  • 1 Cup Thick Poha / Flattened Rice
  • 1 tsp Sugar

Instruction

  • Rinse Poha 2 times gently, soak in very little water for 3 to 4 mins only and fluff it up with a fork in the middle. There is no need to drain the water, as we have soaked in very little water, by this time the poha would have absorbed all the water and becomes fluffy. Then add sugar and salt.
  • Now add turmeric powder and mix gently or toss it without breaking the poha.
  • Peel the skin of potato and cube it into small pieces, boiled potato can also be used. Then chop onion, green chilli and ginger finely. If using raw peanuts, dry roast it and then use it.
  • Heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, jeera and let it splutter. Then add green chilli, ginger and curry leaves. Now add onion and saute for a while.
  • Add potato and saute till it turns slightly soft, it should retain its crunchiness. Then add peanuts and mix well.
  • Now add soaked poha and mix it, don't cook the poha for a long time and make it dry. Switch off the flame, add lemon juice and give a quick stir. If preferred garnish with coriander leaves and pomegranate seeds.Serve it immediately hot with plain sev / omapodi sprinkled on top.
