Ingredients

2 cups thick poha (beaten rice flakes)
1/2 tsp mustard seeds ( rai / sarson)
1/2 tsp cumin seeds (jeera)
6 to 8 curry leaves (kadi patta)
3 to 4 green chillies , slit
1/2 cup chopped onions

1/4 tsp turmeric powder (haldi)
1 tsp sugar (optional)
2 tsp oil
salt to taste

For the garnish
2 tbsp chopped coriander (dhania)
4 lemon wedges

Method

Place the poha in a sieve and hold it under running water for a few seconds. Toss well to drain out all excess water and keep aside.
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan and add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds.
When the seeds crackle, add the curry leaves and green chillies and stir for 1 minute.
Add the onions and sauté till the onions turn golden brown.
Add the potato, turmeric powder, salt and a little water. Cover and heat on medium flame till the potatoes are cooked.
Add the poha, sugar and a little more salt and mix well.
Serve hot garnished with the coriander and lemon wedges.

Tips

If the poha gets too dry sprinkle a tablespoon milk, mix well and serve immediately.

Thick Poha is healthy and has a nice mouth feel. Combined with a bit of potatoes and minimum oil the recipe has 18% fat level which is boarder line high. Tasty and the lime ads a nice tanginess to the poha. I have it often for breakfast.
