Poha/Beaten Rice Snack

Poha/ Beaten Rice Snack

Hi Friends,

Poha a not very common thing for me. I do not like the version available in the market, very rarely i go for this dish. I tried few of its version at home but not satisfied with the outcome. This time i made some changes and liked the taste very much. It was crunchy, bit spicy and very satisfying. I like the aroma while i finished cooking part. Add whatever you like in it or just make simple. 

Ingredients:-

Poha       - 2 cups

Peanuts  - 1 cup

Potato     - 1 large (cut in small pieces)

Onion     - 1 large (cut in small pieces)

Tomato   - 1 large (cut in small pieces)

Curry Patta - 4-5

Lemon    - 1

Chat Masala - 1 tsp

Garam Masal - 1/2 tsp

Salt                - 1 tsp

Method:-

Take poha in a colander and run water over it and leave aside

Dry roast your peanuts in a pan or oven

Now heat 1 tsp oil in a pan and throw your potato in it.

Notes:-

1. You can add turmeric (haldi) for yellow color poha which is served in the market. I do not like that color.
2. Adding potato, onion, tomato is purely optional. I like tit bit bites in it so i used them. You can avoid anything you don't like. 

HOPE YOU WILL LIKE IT

LOVE
