Ingredients:
1 cup Poha (Flattened Rice, washed and drained)
½ cup Chopped Onions
1 cup Chopped Carrots
½ cup Chopped Beans
½ cup Chopped Capsicum
1-2 Green Chillies
A few Curry Leaves
¼ cup Roasted Peanuts
Salt, to taste
1 tsp Turmeric Powder
1 tsp Mustard Seeds
1 tsp Urad Dal
Cooking oil, as needed
Instructions:
Heat a pan or tawa and add oil. Then, add the mustard seeds and urad dal, allowing them to sizzle and release their aroma.
Next, toss in the green chillies and curry leaves, infusing the oil with their delightful flavours.
Add the chopped onions and cook them until they turn translucent, filling your kitchen with a mouthwatering aroma.
Gradually add the chopped vegetables one by one, allowing them to cook halfway, ensuring they retain their vibrant colours and nutritional value.
Sprinkle some salt and turmeric powder to enhance the taste and add a lovely golden hue to the dish.
Now, gently incorporate the washed and drained poha into the mixture, ensuring every grain gets coated with the flavourful blend of spices and veggies.
Give the poha a good mix, making sure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Cover the pan and let the poha cook for a couple of minutes, allowing the flavours to meld and the ingredients to become tender.
Finally, add the roasted peanuts for a delightful crunch and added protein.
Your Rainbow Poha is now ready to be served.
