Poha ( Flattened Rice Breakfast)

This delicious and nutritious dish is a breeze to make and one of my favourite go-to recipes when we want a wholesome breakfast.

Ingredients

2 cups poha (flattened rice)

2 tbsp. vegetable oil

1 tsp mustard seeds

5 to 6 curry leaves

2 green chilies (chopped fine)

1 medium onion (chopped fine)

1 medium potato (chopped fine)

A handful of unsalted peanuts (toasted)

A pinch of turmeric

1/2 a lime (juiced)

Salt to taste

Sugar to balance

A pinch of Hing

Garnish: chopped coriander

Directions

Place the poha in a sieve and rinse it through some running water twice and drain completely. Add the turmeric powder, salt and sugar and mix gently. Heat oil in a pan and add the mustard seeds, curry leaves and green chillies. When they start to pop, add the onions and hing. Saute until the onions turn transparent and then add the potato. Add a few drops of water and cover to let the potatoes cook. Once the potatoes are done, add the poha, peanuts and mix thoroughly. Turn off the heat, and garnish with fresh coriander and lime juice.
