Description: The most common and quick-easy breakfast in Indian homes is the kanda (onion) batata (potato) poha.
It keeps you full for a long time and can be easily carried to school or office in your dabba (tiffin box) 🙂
Ingredients:
- 3 cups poha (medium rice flakes)
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 4-5 curry leaves
- 1 tsp mustard seeds
- 2 tbsp roasted peanuts
- 1 1/4 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 green chili - finely chopped
- 1 small onion - finely chopped
- 1 small potato - finely diced
- 2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves - finely chopped
- Salt as per taste
Method:
- Wash the rice flakes under running water in a colander till they are soft. (make sure they don't turn mushy)
- After draining all the water out, add 1 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp sugar and salt as per taste. Set them aside.
- Now take a pan/wok and add 2 tbsp oil and let it heat on medium flame.
- Once the oil is hot put the mustard seeds and let them crackle.
- Now add the curry leaves and green chili, saute them for a minute and add the chopped onions and potatoes.
- Add 1/4 tsp turmeric powder and little salt (don't forget you have already put salt in the washed poha, this is just for the potatoes and onions) and cover the pan for 3-4 minutes on low flame.
- Open the lid and add roasted peanuts. Stir well and add the poha to the pan.
- Mix them gently so that the onions-potatoes blend well with the poha. Add lemon juice and mix well.
- Cover the pan for another 3-4 minutes on low flame and when done garnish with fresh coriander.
