Poha

Updated at: Thu, 17 Aug 2023 11:36:38 GMT

Step 1

Take 1 cup poha in a colander.

Step 2

Wash it thoroughly and gently under running tap water, and make sure to not break the flakes while washing. Drain the water completely. Let it dry. Cover with a lid and keep aside for 10 mins.

Step 3

Finely chop onion, green chilli, and corriander. Chop potato in small thin cubes. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon.

Step 4

Once the poha has dried, gently separate the flakes with your hand, so they don't clump together. Add salt, sugar, corriander, and lemon juice.

Step 5

In a pan, add oil, mustard seeds, jeera, and (optional) hing. After the mustard cackles, add the chopped veggies and fry for 5 mins till the onions turn translucent.

Step 6

Add a pinch of haldi and salt, to taste. Cover with a lid for 2 mins so the potatoes cook well.

Step 7

Add the poha to the pan. Mix well. Place the lid back on. And let it cook on a low flame for 2-3 mins.

Step 8

Serve hot with (optionally) spicy sev and freshly squeezed lime.
