Poha

I crave for some good Indian food sometimes. The problem is there are way too many options! Today, I went with a classic - poha. It is mainly made out of beaten white rice with turmeric and other spices, and seasoned with mustard seeds and peanuts.

What’s the secret?

  1. Soak some poha (you can get this at the Indian store) in water
  2. In the meantime, chop onions, tomatoes
  3. Heat some oil, and add some garlic, mustard seeds, curry leaves, peanuts, dried red chillies, chopped onions and salt until the onions are cooked.
  4. Add chopped tomatoes and turmeric and mix well
  5. Finally, add in the soaked poha and some lime juice
  6. Serve hot! :)

Another version could be to soak the poha in unsweetened vegan yogurt (like, tangy/sour yogurt) instead, and skipping the lime juice. I personally prefer this method. Also, if you feel like it, add some coconut flakes in! :)
