Vegetable Poha recipe is a very healthy, quick and easy recipe to make for breakfast. An easy way to make kids have a bit of veggies. I usually add carrots, onions, peas, potatoes to it, this time I didn't have potatoes so have not added them. Vegetable poha at my place is incomplete without peanuts as peanuts are my little one's favourite and also they add a bit of crunch to the vegetable poha.Vegetable Poha can also be served as an evening snack with tea.
INGREDIENTS
1 cup poha or flattened rice
2 table spoons oil
1/4 cup peanuts
1 tea spoon mustard seeds (rai)
1 sprig curry leaves (kari patta)
2 table spoons oil
1/4 cup peanuts
1 tea spoon mustard seeds (rai)
1 sprig curry leaves (kari patta)
1 onion chopped
1 small carrot chopped
1/2 cup peas (if using frozen ones boil them a little bit or add them to hot water for a few minutes)
1 small potato chopped ( I have not added it here as I didn't have but you can add it along with the other veggies)
1-2 green chillies slit into half lengthwise
1/2 tea spoon turmeric powder
salt to taste
1/2 tea spoon sugar
1/2 tea spoon sugar
2 tea spoons lemon juice
2 table spoons green coriander chopped
1-2 table spoons grated coconut (optional)
METHOD
1. Take the poha in a strainer and wash it nicely and let the water drain out. This is just to soften the poha, we don't need to soak the poha. Chop all the veggies and keep aside.
2. In a kadhai or pan take 2 table spoons of oil and lightly roast the peanuts.
3. Remove the peanuts from the kadhai, leaving the remaining oil in it. Now in the hot oil add the mustard seeds (rai).
4. Once the mustard seeds splutter add the curry leaves (kari patta).
5. Now add the green chillies and carrots, cook for a minute.
6. Add the green peas, onion. Cook all the veggies till they soften.
7. Add salt and turmeric powder. Mix well.
8. I've added the roasted peanuts and green coriander to the wet poha and mixed it together before adding it to the veggies.
9. Add the poha to the veggies mixture in the kadhai.
10. Mix everything together and add sugar ( you can increase or decrease according to your taste ).
11. Switch off the gas and add the lime juice. Mix it together nicely.
12. Garnish it with fresh green chopped coriander and grated coconut. Serve hot.
