Making "POHA"

For the first time I am going to make something for you ahahh just a line, how can I parcel it to you?

So, "POHA" is a dish made for snacks or breakfast, at my home it's as snacks and when I was in school It was breakfast on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Raw Poha basically looks like flattened rice.

A year ago I called a friend of mine and he said today he made Poha and it was so delicious and retorting him I said how do you make that and he told just buy it, wash it, soak it, put sugar, and have it with tea. I said alright I will make it too. On the call, I never asked him for the detailed recipe but I just was confident that I can make it easily without any guidance. And one day I went to shop to buy the raw poha and I cooked it. Everyone was flabbergasted eating it and since then I have to make it every time my family wishes to eat it.

How to make it?-

Ingredients: for 4 person

3 bowls of raw Poha (in a quantity you want to eat, but trust me to take more because you won't stop eating it less) haha

Sugar 8 teaspoon

Onion 2 medium size

Mustard seeds

Mustard oil/olive oil/ ( any cooking oil you use)

A handful of Peanut

A spoon of Cumin

Curry leaves 8-12

Half piece of lemon

Tomato 1 or 2

Green Chilli 4-5

Corriander

Turmeric powder 1/2 spoonful

Process:-

• Wash the Poha in 2-3 water, squeeze it to remove all the water from it.

• Add sugar to it and put it aside.

• Fry peanut separately and take it out on a plate.

• Chop the onion into small pieces or into longer pieces (I prefer longer pieces), Chop the tomatoes into smaller pieces, and cut coriander. And similarly the green chilies.

• Put 5-6 spoons of oil in the pan, once it heats add cumin and mustard seeds to it.

• Once the seeds are flamed, put the onion and chili into it and fry for about 5 minutes at low flame

• Add tomatoes into them and fry them on the same flame.

• Put Turmeric powder and mix them properly.

• After they are fried enough put raw poha in them.

• Now keep on mixing it so that the fried tomatoes, onions get mixed well with it. and keep on mixing till the white raw poha turns yellowish.

• After that add lemon to it.

• Add the fried peanut.

• Add coriander.

• Add curry leaves.

• Keep it on a low flame and keep on stirring so that it won't get over-flamed.

• Turn off the Gas haha that's it

Wait wait wait won't you serve it into plates? Huhh? That's so very rude of you.

SORRY, I DID NOT PUT CORRIANDER AND CURRY LEAVES BECAUSE AT THE MOMENT IT WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO ME.

Serve it on your plates. Have a tasty and delicious breakfast/snacks. Of course, eat it with tea or milk.

Bring a smile on everyone's face serving them something very different.

Thank you.

It was the first cooking article, I don't know if I presented it as you expected but I tried. Sorry, If you don't like it, but I am pretty confident you'll like the delicious "POHA" maybe you can add sauce to it if you want.

You can all add fennel seeds to it. I like to put but my brothers don't want it so I do not add it.
