Potato Poha

Potato Poha is a North Indian dish. I had it from Gujarat when i was a kid and it didnt go well for me. So i always refrained from cooking it. But lately Raj was insisting so much that i thought to give it a try. And to my surprise it was very tasty and i loved it. So now i will be cooking this more frequently.

Ingredients (Serves 2)
Oil - 1 tbsp
Mustard - 1/4 tsp
Cumin - 1/2 tsp
Curry leaves - few
Green chilly - 2-3
Urad dal - 1 tsp
Channa dal - 1 tsp
Peanuts - 2tbsp
Onion chopped - 2 tbspn
Salt
Potato chopped- a small one
Turmeric - a big pinch
Thick Rice flakes - 1 cup (washed and drained)
Cilantro leaves - few
Lime juice - 1/2 wedge (around 1 tbsp)

Wash the rice flakes in water and let it soak the water for 30 secs. Now drain and keep it aside.
Heat oil in a pan and splutter mustard and cumin.
Now add curry leaves and add the urad dal, channa dal and peanuts and roast it well.
Now add the green chilly.
Now add the chopped onion, salt and saute it for a min, then add potato and close the pan with a lid. Once the potato cooks, add the turmeric and mix well.
Now add the soaked rice flakes and mix well.
Close the pan with a lid and let it cook (will take 4-5 mins)
Now add the chopped cilantro leaves and mix it very well.

Serve hot

You can substitute the potato with mashed potato if its available. I added mashed potato while cooking this time and it went well.

Enjoy!!!
