Lemon Poha

Lemon Poha is an Indian breakfast. Given the fact that it has low fat and no cholestrol, this is a healthy choice. This is a very popular breakfast in my house. Quick and easy to make recipe, whenever I don't have time and feel hungry I prepare this in 5 min.

Serve - 2 persons
Preparation time - 5 Min.
Cooking time - 5 min.
Ingredients :
Medium Size Poha - 1 1\2 cup
Medium Size Onion - 1
Green Chilly - 2
Turmeric - 1\2 teaspoon
Dhaniya powder - 1\2 teaspoon.
Ground Nuts - 3 table spoon
Curry leaves - 5-10 leaves.
Lemon Juice - 1\2 teaspoon.
Salt according to test
Coriander leaves for garnishing.
Oil - 1 table spoon.
Jeera - i teaspoon
Rai (Mustard seeds) - 1 teaspoon

Method :
1) wash poha and drain all the water from it. Leave it as it is till you finish with other preparation. For your reference I am showing how dry and soaked poha looks like.

2) Cut onion length wise. Roughly chop green chilly. Wash Curry leaves and coriander leaves.
3) Put oil in kadai and heat it. Once the oil is hot put mustard seeds and Jeera in it. then put Groundnuts and fry for 30 sec. When Jeera becomes brown put Green chilly, Onion and curry leaves. fry till onion become transparent.
4) Now mix turmeric powder, dhania powder and salt in it. Mix well then add soaked poha in this. Mix it well.
5) Add lemon juice to it .
6) Garnish with chopped coriander leaves and serve hot.

I love to garnish this with namkin(baarik sev) and eat it. it tastes yummy and crunchy but yes it adds more calories too :)
