Veg Poha

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Poha (Flattened rice)
  • 1/2 tbsp Mustard seeds
  • 1/2 tbsp Cumin seeds (Jeera)
  • 1 sprig Curry leaves, roughly torn
  • 1/2 Onion, finely chopped
  • 2 Green Chillies, finely chopped
  • 1 inch Ginger, grated
  • 1/2 Carrot, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup Green Bell Pepper (Capsicum), finely chopped
  • 1/3 cup Green peas 11. 1 tbsp Turmeric powder
  • Salt, to taste
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • Coriander Leaves, a small bunch finely chopped
  • Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for cooking

Method:

  • Heat oil in a pan, add the mustard and cumin seeds; allow it to crackle. Add the curry leaves, onions and sauté until softened. Once the onions have softened, add the remaining vegetables, sprinkle some salt and water and allow it to steam cook.
  • Place the poha in a colander and rinse it well under running water. Stir the poha gently by using your fingers while rinsing, otherwise they will become mushy at the time of cooking. Once washed set aside the poha.
  • Stir in the turmeric powder, salt and sugar. Stir to combine and finally add rinsed poha.
  • Give the poha a gentle stir until all the ingredients come together. Turn the heat to low and cover the pan. Allow the mixed vegetable poha to cook in the steam along with the vegetables. This will take about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • After 3 to 4 minutes, you will notice the poha has puffed up slightly. At this stage, turn off the heat. Stir in the juice from one lemon and the coriander leaves.
  • Check the salt and seasonings and adjust to suit your taste and serve.
  • Serve the poha for a wholesome breakfast.
