Aloo-Poha

Poha is a maharashtrian dish which is usually had for breakfast or as a snack. We have it every Sunday for breakfast. As my family lived in Maharashtra all my childhood, this is something that my mom has been cooking for ages.
Here's the recipe.

Ingredients:

3C thick poha
1/4C peanuts
1 potato, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped
1 tsp tuemeric powder
1 tsp chili powder
1 green chili, chopped
1 tsp rai/mustard seeds
2 tbsp oil
sugar
salt to taste

Method:

1) Soak the poha in water for about 2 mins and drain out the water. Sprinkle a tsp of sugar on the soaked poha and let it sit.

2)Meanwhile, in a pan, heat the oil and add rai. When rai starts to crack, add peanuts and potatoes.

2) Fry the potatoes. When they are cooked, add the onions and green chili and simmer the flame. Let the onions cook for 2 mins.

3) Add salt , turmeric powder and chili powder to the onion-potato mixture and stir for a few seconds until the masala is cooked.

4) Turn off the heat and add the soaked poha to the pan and mix well. Heat needs to be turned off so that the poha doesnt stick to the bottom of the pan and become hard.

5) Serve with sev and some lime juice sprinkled over it.

Serves: 2-3
