Poha With Potatoes And Peas

• 1 cup Thick poha (flattened rice)
• 1 medium potato, cubed into 1/2 inch thick pieces
• 1/2 cup green peas (fresh or frozen)
• 1/2 of a medium onion, chopped finely
• 1 small green chilli, chopped finely (optional)
• 3-4 fresh curry leaves
• Lemon juice, to taste
• 1 tablespoon raw peanuts
• 2 whole dry red chillies
• 2 teaspoons black mustard seeds
• 1 pinch asafoetida
• 1 teaspoon turmeric powder
• Salt, to taste
• 2 tablespoons vegetable/canola oil
• Cilantro, for garnishing

1. Put the poha in a colander or seive and wash under running water for a minute. Set aside to drain.
2. Heat the oil in a pan. Once it is hot, add mustard seeds and dry red chillies.
3. After the mustard seeds have stopped spluttering, add a pinch of asafoetida and green chillies and saute for 10 seconds.
4. Then add the raw peanuts and saute till they turn slightly brown.
5. Next add curry leaves and onions and saute for a minute.
6. Follow with turmeric, potatoes, peas and salt. (I also add grated carrot and cauliflower sometimes).
7. Cover the pan and cook till the potatoes are done. You can add a little water if the mixture is too dry.
8. Once the potatoes are tender, add the moistened poha and mix thoroughly. The turmeric should stain the poha completely. Be gentle while mixing to not end up with a mush. Sprinkle a little water if it looks dry.
9. Once everything is mixed properly, turn off the heat and add lemon juice.
10. Granish with cilantro leaves and enjoy with ketchup!
