Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Thick Poha (flattened rice)
- 1 medium Potato
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 small Green Chili
- 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
Instructions
Rinse the thick poha under running water in a colander until it turns soft. Drain well and let it sit aside.
Peel and dice the potato into small cubes. Finely chop the onion and green chili.
Heat vegetable oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and let them crackle.
Add the peanuts and sauté until they begin to turn golden brown.
Add the diced potatoes and cook them until done, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the chopped onions, green chili, and curry leaves. Sauté until the onions become translucent.
Sprinkle turmeric powder and salt over the mixture in the pan, stirring to coat evenly.
Add the softened poha into the pan. Mix everything gently to avoid breaking the poha.
Sprinkle sugar and squeeze the juice of half a lemon onto the poha. Mix thoroughly.
Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot.
