Poha is probably one breakfast which is cooked from Kashmir to Kanyakumari 😊, every region having it’s own version of the recipe.

This one, I make a chatpata version of the regular poha, with matar and aloo. Poha always seems quick and easy but requires a lot of ingredients to make it flavourful.

For the best results, use medium type poha for this recipe.

Steps

1

Soak the poha with 3/4 cup of water for 10 mins. Heat a pan, add oil, once oil is hot add mustard and fennel seeds and let those splutter. Now put the onion, green chilli, curry leaves, after onion is fried add peas and chopped tomatoes.
2

Let the matar get softened and tomato mushy, at this stage add dry masalas: salt, turmeric, coriander, Aamchur, sugar and mix well. When matar is cooked completely, add potatoes, give a mix, after couple of minutes add the poha and give a gentle mix without breaking the pohas.
3

Squeeze lemon juice into 2 tbsp water. Switch off the flame, sprinkle the lemon water into the poha and cover it for 2 minutes, add freshly chopped coriander leaves, before serving the delicious poha with steaming hot ginger tea.
Tip: If you find the poha to be dry, adjust the amount of water with the lemon juice.
