Simple Poha (the flatten rice)

Okie before I start writing anything let me tell u guys am not a good cook and all I know abt cooking is through experimentation as I started it jujst 6 months back. After me n my husband moved from our home town and I have to take charge of kitchen.... I don't get much time for cooking due to job but when I do get I keep trying my hands on different recipies.

So here in my blog you will find some easy to make recipies :)

The first and foremost thing I cooked in my life is pohey (flatten rice). Although there are different ways of preparing it like gujrati, UP and MP style etc. But am posting the one which Sachin and I relish the most... And the same was cooked on my birthday for our breakfast.

So here it goes :)

Ingredients....(first and fore most thing;)

Okie You will require following things:

• Poha - 2 cup
• 1 tsp mustard seeds (rai as known by we indians)
  
• Potato - 1 medium sized chopped into cubes (waisay any shape will do ;))
• Onion - 1 medium chopped
• Green Peas - 1/2 bowl
  
• Green chilly-2 to 4 depends on your taste bud
• Sugar - 2 tbsp
• lemon - 1
  
• Oil- 2 tbsp
• Salt to taste
• tumeric a pinch
  
• Coriander to garnish

Method:
Okie now that we have collected all the required basic ingredients lets start cooking....

Ha I forgot to tell you need a wok (kadhai or some pan to cook too ;) )

Just kidding :)

First of all wash the pohas in some strainer thoroughly. It should be well washed. While it's still in strainer add the lemon, and tumeric to it and keep them aside.

Okie now heat oil in pan and crackle the mustard seeds. when the crackling sound stops coming that means it's ready to have other ingredients. Add the onions, potato and green peas to it. and stir well. You can add them seperately too but I prefer putting them all together. Add finely chopped

When the potato's are cooked and peas become soft then add the poha to it. stir well and add salt and sugar to it.

cook for 2 mins and it's ready. Garnish with corriander and serve hot.
(grated coconut can also be used for garnishing purpose)
