Servings: 3
Ingredients
- Poha or Flattened Rice or Parched Rice 2 cups
- Onion 1 large chopped finely
- Potato 1 medium peeled and cubed
- Curry leaves a sprig
- Salt to taste
- Mustard seeds 1 tsp
- Urad dal 1 tsp
- Oil 2 tbsp
- To Grind To A Paste:
- Coriander leaves a small bunch
- Green chilies 4 to 5
- Curry leaves 1
- Lemon juice 1 tbsp
Instructions
- Soak the poha for about 5 mins in water enough to cover it after rinsing it thoroughly.
- In case you are using the thin variety, all you have to do is just wash it thoroughly under running water and set aside for 5 mins. If you are using the thicker ones, then soak the poha for 5 mins in 1 cup of water. After 5 mins, drain the water and set aside.
- Now, grind together the coriander, green chilies, curry leaf and lemon juice adding little water to a fine paste.
- Use your coffee grinder for this and you will be done quickly. But remember little water are the operative words here. You add too much water and you will have a soggy poha.
- Now heat oil in a pan.
- Add the mustard and pop them. Once popped, add the urad dal.
- Once the dal turns a light brown, add the onions and saute them till light brown.
- Now toss in the potatoes and cook till tender.
- Next, add in the soaked poha, salt and ground paste and mix well.
- Cook closed on low flame for 2 to 3 mins.
- Once done, serve hot with curd or sev and onions.
