Poha Veggie

Poha is a flattened rice, which is flattened into flat light dry flakes. 
This easily digestible form of raw rice is very popular across IndiaNepal and Bangladesh.

Poha is generally used as making of snacks and good for breakfast option too. Some part of India, like Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Gujraat poha is used as a breakfast option. You guys must have eaten poha in your life.
Here I am sharing recipe of poha veggie which is different from poha which is generally cooked in India. This is so tasty to eat and full of vegetables and lots of more stuffs.

Try this recipe in  weekend breakfast or as a brunch. Recipe is given below.

Chaat masala: 1 tsp
Oil: 2 spoons
Green chillies: 2 fine chopped

Method of Preparation

First we take poha in a vegetable strainer and keep it under running tab and wash it properly.
Now we squeeze all light from it from light hand and keep in a mixing bowl. Add tomato and mix well with poha. Add termeric powder in it and mix well.



Take a pan or kadahi. Now add oil in it. Heat it on medium flame. Add mustered seeds, ajwain seeds let it be cracked in oil. Add kaddi leaves. Add onions and green chillies. Saute it on low flame.



When onions become tranculant then add carrot, cabbage, green  beans, corns and peas. Add 1/2 tsp salt and Saute it. Cover it with lid for 2 to 3 mintues.



Now add poha mixture in kadahi and mix well with all vegetables. Add red chilli powder, Garam Masala, cumin seeds powder, sugar and salt. If you use kadhi leaves powder then  add kadhi leaves powder in this point. Mixll and cover it for 2 mintues. Be precautios as salt has been added in while cooking vegetables. 


While poha is covered under cooking. Take a separate pan. Add 1 spoon oil and heat it. Now put peanut in it and roast it on high flame. When peanut starts cracking, switch off gas.

Now open poha lid and saute it again. Add 1tsp lemon juice in it and mix well. Now poha is ready now. Add roasted peanuts, dry fruits and Coriander leaves in it and mix well. Now switch off gas.

For serving, take a plate or serving bowl. Put poha in it. Sprinkle some haldiram bhujia over it. Put one half cut lemon on a corner. It is ready to serve. Serve it with smile.


Notes:

  1. Squeeze all water from poha carefully with light hand.
  2. Be cautious at the time of adding salt. 
  3. You can add vegetables as per your choice. We don't eat cabbage, so I didn't use cabbage in poha. 
  4. I always use grated carrots in poha. If  You  wish, can add fine chopped carrots too in poha.
  5. In dry fruits, you can add raisins, Cashew, almonds.
  6. I add sugar powder.  You can use sugar granulated too.
  7. I used indoors namkeen in poha.
  8. I used kadhi leaves powder in poha not Kadi leaves.
