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