Instructions
 

For the veggies

  • Firstly, prepare all the veggies. Chop potato, carrots, capsicum.
  • Steam all the vegetables (carrots, peas and corn). You can use a steamer or a pressure cooker to steam your vegetables. Alternatively, you can also boil your veggies in a covered bowl in a microwave for 6 minutes.

For the Poha

  • Rinse poha with water in a strainer for a couple of times. This process is carried out to make our poha softened and also to clean them. Rinse gently. Make sure you do not rinse for a longer period of time, doing so will make your poha sticky.
  • Add ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder, sugar, salt and lemon juice to the poha.
  • Mix gently. keep aside.

Preparing poha

  • In a pan, heat 2 tbsp oil. Add dry red chilli and mustard seeds.
  • When the mustard seeds crackle, add green chilli, jeera, hing and curry leaves.
  • Now add potato cubes. Saute for 1 minute and add salt and turmeric. Cover with a lid and cook for 7-8 mins or till potatoes are cooked.
  • Then add onions, grated ginger, cashews, raisins and saute for 2-3 mins.
  • Then add boiled veggies and capsicum. Stir well
  • Then add the poha. stir and mix gently. After checking for taste, you can add more salt or sugar if required.
  • Make sure that everything gets mixed evenly and cook on a low flame for 3 to 4 minutes. At this stage, if you find your poha to be dry, sprinkle 1-2 tablespoon water.
  • You can garnish with coriander leaves.
  • Serve poha with tea or buttermilk. Njoyeeee…
