METHOD · 1 STEP
Saute the aromatics and combine with the rinsed poha
- Rinse the flattened rice in a colander under cold water until softened, then set aside to drain.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat and add mustard seeds, peanuts, and curry leaves until they sizzle and brown.
- Stir in the chopped onions until translucent, then fold in the rinsed poha and lemon juice until thoroughly heated.
TIPAvoid over-rinsing the poha to prevent it from turning into a paste.
PRO TIPS
