Instructions to make Poha - with an experimental secret:
- Take 2 cups poha in a plate and spread them to the sides, leaving the center of the plate with a doughnut like structure
- Pour water into the plate in the center so that we are not pouring water directly over the poha (the entire poha must be submerged in water)
- Lightly swirl around with your hand to wash off the powder like layer off the poha
- Keep it submerged for 2 minutes and then transfer them to a strainer
- Whilst in the strainer add 1/2 tsp haldi and lightly mix the poha; set this aside (for about 10-15 minutes)
- Start cutting the veggies after you have set this aside to save time
- Heat oil in a wok / kadhai at almost full heat
- Add hing followed by rai (mustard seeds)
- Once the mustard seeds start to crackle reduce the heat to half and add cumin seeds
- Wait 10 seconds and add the minced chillies
- Fry for about 20-30 seconds
- Add the ginger and then garlic with about a 15 second delay, if you are using the paste add it together at this point
- Fry till the raw aroma of ginger and garlic disappears
- Next, add the peanuts and fry them until they become light red; please be careful because it is very easy to burn the peanuts, approximately 1-2 minutes should do them just right
- Next add the curry leaves and fry for about 20 seconds
- Add the onions and fry until they turn pink
- Add the potatoes and salt, and fry for about 2 minutes
- Add turmeric powder and then cover and cook until potatoes are tender (keep stirring once in a minute at the least to ensure nothing sticks at the bottom)
- When potatoes are tender reduce heat to the lowest setting as add the prepped poha
- Once you add the poha be very careful as to not to press the dish from top down, else you will end up having rice cakes like texture.
- Toss the dish from bottom up using a spoon or a spatula, very lightly until the spice mix we made blends in
- Next add the shredded/desiccated coconut and continue mixing in same style for about 1 minute
- Squeeze half a lemon and mix 4-5 times more
