- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 2 whole Green chilies

Instructions
Rinse the poha under running water for a minute, draining the excess water, and let it sit in a sieve to drain completely and soften.

Heat the vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the raw peanuts and fry them until they are golden brown, then remove them and set them aside.
In the same oil, add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Then add cumin seeds, followed by curry leaves and chopped green chilies, stirring everything for about a minute.
Add the sliced onion to the pan and sauté until they turn translucent.
Sprinkle the turmeric powder over the onions and mix well.
Add the softened poha to the pan, using a gentle hand to mix everything. Add salt to taste.
Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the poha and stir in the peanuts that were set aside earlier.
Garnish the poha with freshly chopped coriander leaves.
Serve hot, enjoying this flavorful and dairy-free dish as a light breakfast or snack.
