Poha Breakfast Recipes
Poha is a great breakfast dish for people who are looking for a quick and easy meal that is also healthy and nutritious.
Ingredients
- 2 Cup thick (mota) poha
- 2 tablespoons oil
- ½ teaspoon black mustard seeds
- 3 tablespoons peanuts
- ½ cup onion chopped into very small pieces
- 6 curry leaves
- 1 green chili, minced
- ½ boiled, peeled, cubed potato or frozen green peas Both are optional
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Wash the Poha with cold water while it is in a colander. Discard to drain. Because the Poha shouldn’t sit for more than 10 minutes, do this right before cooking (or it will get mushy).
- Heat oil in a frying pan and add black mustard seeds. Add the peanuts when they pop, and cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
- After that, add the green chile, onion, and curry leaf. Once the onion is transparent, sauté it on medium heat.
- Then, if using, add the cubed potatoes or green peas. Stir well.
- Season with turmeric and salt. Cook for a few seconds after stirring.
- Add lime juice and the Poha that has been drained. Cook on low heat for 3 minutes.
- Garnish with cilantro, if desired.
