Ingredients
4
3 cups Poha
3 tbsp Oil
half teaspoon Cumin seeds
half teaspoon Mustard seeds
2 pieces Green chilli
12 pieces Curry leaves
2 tbsp Peanuts
2 pieces Potato
Salt as per taste
1 teaspoon Sugar
2 tbsp Peanut
half teaspoon Turmeric powder

Water as per needed
Tips
Ensure the poha is not overly wet; it should be soft but not mushy.
You can also add some peas or carrots for extra nutrition and flavor.
For a richer taste, you can add a handful of grated coconut or a few chopped cashews.
Directions
In a large bowl, add the poha. Make sure to use thick, old poha for the best texture.
Add water to the bowl and gently wash the poha. Strain the poha using a sieve and let it rest for 8-10 minutes.
Heat oil in a pan over high flame. Once hot, add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, green chilli, curry leaves, and peanuts. Sauté briefly on low flame.
Add diced potatoes to the pan. Cook over high flame until the potatoes are half-cooked.
Add chopped onion and sugar, stirring well. Cook until the onion turns light golden brown.
Lower the flame, add salt and turmeric powder. Mix well.
Add the soaked poha, fresh coriander, and lemon juice. Stir gently.
Add a splash of water over the poha and cover the pan with a lid. Switch off the flame and let it rest for 3-4 minutes.
After 3-4 minutes, remove the lid and sprinkle freshly chopped coriander on top.
Garnish with grated coconut while serving.
