Peanuts and poha is an unbeatable combo always. Be it in chiwda, farsans or in the Maharashrian Breakfast favourite Poha or Pohe, peanuts add a yummy taste, crunch and nutty flavour. They also balance the dish with their protein and iron content. So I am sharing this easy and delicious dish. Enjoy.

Steps

25 minutes

1

First, clean and rinse the poha or flattened rice in a sieve 2 to 3 times. Take the poha in another bowl.
2

Then add 1/4 cup water, mix well, cover, and keep soaking for 15 minutes or till the grains are soft.
3

While the poha soaks, heat a kadhai and add 1 tablespoon oil. Add the peanuts and fry them on medium heat till they are brown. Take out on a plate with kitchen paper and let the oil absorb.
4

Then heat the same kadhai, add more oil. When it heats, add mustard, cumin, hing and stir well. Then add curry leaves, green chillies, onions and fry them too nicely.
5

When onions are pink, add coriander leaves, turmeric, chilli powder, and mix well for a minute till the masalas cook. Add a spoonful of water if the mixture is too dry.
6

Then add in the poha and mix well by turning and stirring from all sides till all grains are covered with masalas. Keep the flame low to medium.
7

Then add some of the peanuts, salt, and sugar and mix well. Then sprinkle some water, cover, and cook till the poha steams up and releases aroma.
8

Switch off the flame. Again give it a stir and add lemon juice. Mix it in and serve the poha steaming hot garnished with fried peanuts, fine sev and pickle at the side. Enjoy.
