Simple Poha


To help me prepare for the test, my husband took up cooking responsibilities for the weekend. The first treat was this Poha on Saturday morning along with piping hot tea. This is a very simple recipe and my husband likes to add peanuts to it for some crunch. So here goes...

Ingredients:

2 cups thick poha (flattened rice)
2 tablespoon oil
1/2 medium onion chopped
1/4 cup peanuts
1 teaspoon chili powder
Cumin and mustard seeds
Big pinch of turmeric
Salt
Coriander for garnish

Place poha in a sieve and rinse. Heat oil in wok. Add cumin and mustard seeds. When they start popping, add onions. As onions soften, add peanuts with spices and saute for about 1 minute. Add the poha and salt and mix well. Cook for about 5 minutes till everything is well integrated.
Serve with chopped coriander sprinkled on top.
