Ingredients

• 1 cup Flattened rice
• 1/2 Onion
• 1/2 cup Peas
• 2 tbsp Peanuts
• 1/2 tsp Turmeric
• 1/2 Lemon
• 1/4 cup Cilantro

Steps

1. Rinse the flattened rice in a colander 30 seconds, then drain fully; it should be soft but not mushy.
2. Temper mustard seeds in hot oil until they pop, then add onion and cook 3 minutes.
3. Stir in the turmeric, peas, and a splash of water; the turmeric blooms in the oil and turns everything gold.
4. Add the drained poha and toss gently 2 minutes until heated through; rough handling breaks the flakes.
5. Fold in the peanuts for crunch.
6. Finish with lemon juice and cilantro; serve warm.
