Savory Poha Recipe in 25 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Place the thin poha in a colander. Rinse under running cold water for 30-60 seconds, gently tossing with your fingers. Shake off excess water and let it sit in the colander.
2. In a separate bowl, toss the damp poha with salt and sugar until evenly distributed.
3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add peanuts and fry until deep golden brown and nutty. Remove peanuts and set aside.
4. In the same oil, add mustard seeds. Once they start popping, add cumin seeds, curry leaves, and slit green chilies. Sauté for 30 seconds until curry leaves are crisp.
5. Add finely diced onions to the pan. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until translucent and slightly caramelized. Stir in the turmeric powder and cook for another 30 seconds.
6. Add the prepared poha to the skillet and toss gently to coat each grain with the turmeric-oil mixture. Stir in lemon juice and the fried peanuts.
7. Cover with a lid and let steam on low heat for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro, grated coconut, and nylon sev before serving.
