Ingredients

  • 1 cup poha (flattened rice)
  • 1/2 cup broccoli florets (finely chopped)
  • 1 small carrot (grated)
  • 1/4 cup peas (optional)
  • 1 small onion (finely chopped)
  • 1/2 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1/2 tsp teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1-2 green chilies (optional, finely chopped)
  • 8-10 curry leaves
  • 1/4 turmeric powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Lemon juice (optional)
  • Fresh coriander leaves (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Rinse the poha under running water in a colander until it softens. Drain completely and set aside.
  • Heat oil or ghee in a pan over medium heat.
  • Add mustard seeds. When they start to splutter, add cumin seeds.
  • Add the chopped onion and sauté until it turns translucent.
  • Add turmeric powder and salt. Mix well.
  • Add the softened poha to the pan and mix gently to combine all ingredients. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the poha is well-coated with the spices and vegetables.
  • Turn off the heat. If desired, add a squeeze of lemon juice for some tanginess.
  • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve warm.
