Poha (Rice Flakes) with Potatoes, Onions and Spices

Take a frying pan, heat oil, and add potatoes. Fry until golden brown. Once done, set aside on paper towels to absorb the excess oil.

Meantime, using a strainer, rinse poha in clean running water until it softens. Add some salt and turmeric powder and mix gently with your hands.

In the same frying pan, heat more oil and add mustard seeds. Once they start sizzle, add a few curry leaves, onions and green chili or jalapeño. Stir fry until onion softens.

Add potatoes, mix and fry for 1 minute. Add poha, mix well and saute for 2 minutes over low heat. Squeeze some lemon or lime juice and turn off heat.

Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and/or roasted peanuts and serve warm.
