Poha

Ingredients

• •2 cups flattened rice (poha)
• •1 medium potato, diced
• •1/2 cup roasted peanuts
• •1/4 cup diced onion
• •2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• •1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• •1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• •1/4 teaspoon red chili powder
• •2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• •1 green chili, sliced
• •1/2 teaspoon salt
• •1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

1. 1Rinse the flattened rice under water for 30 seconds and drain completely.
2. 2Heat oil in a large pan and add mustard seeds; let them crackle for 30 seconds.
3. 3Add diced potatoes and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
4. 4Add onions and green chili, cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. 5Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt; mix well.
6. 6Add the rinsed poha and peanuts, toss gently for 2-3 minutes.
7. 7Remove from heat, add cilantro and lemon juice, and mix gently.
8. 8Serve immediately while warm.

💡 Rinse poha briefly rather than soaking it; flattened rice absorbs water fast and can turn mushy before it reaches the pan.
