Power Poha
A very good morning friends!!! January has just started and here in amchi Mumbai mornings are getting a little colder day by day. How about making something fresh and hot for breakfast? A hot breakfast with a cup of masala tea on a cold winter morning is all you need to enjoy the bliss of this season, isn't it?
So here is yet another recipe... a tasty and ...more nutritious twist given to regular poha by addition of soya chunks, soaked chana dal, peanuts and I added some fresh vegetables too (a slight variation in the original recipe) to enhance its health and nutritional quotient. Power Poha truely makes a power breakfast snack as both soya chunks and chana dal are packed with proteins. A healthy way to start the day! Here is the recipe for you...
Ingredients-
2 cups thick poha
1/2 cup soaked gram / chana dal
1 cup soaked soya chunks (As far as possible use the mini chunks)
4 tbsp peanuts
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 cup chopped cabbage
1/4 cup chopped carrot
1/4 cup chopped capsicum
1 tsp mustard seeds
A pinch of asafoetida
10-12 curry leaves
4-5 finely chopped green chilies (+/- depending on your taste)
3 finely chopped garlic pods
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
2 tbsp oil
A handful of chopped coriander
1 tsp sugar
Salt to taste
Method-
Take the Poha in a colander and wash under running tap water. Let the excess water drain out and leave aside.
Boil 3 cups of water and add soya chunks. Let the chunks cook in the boiling water for 2 minutes. Turn Off the heat, cover with a lid and leave aside to cool a bit. Then remove the chunks from the water and squeeze them with your hands so as to remove excess water.
Heat oil in a kadhai / wok. Add mustard seeds. Once they splutter add a pinch of asafoetida, curry leaves, green chilies and garlic and stir fry on low heat.
Now add in the peanuts and stir for a minute so that the peanuts become crisp.
Now add onions, and saute for 2 minutes .Add all the vegetables, turmeric powder and salt and saute for 1 minute. Now add the soaked soya chunks, stir well, cover with a lid and let it cook for 2 minutes.
Uncover and add the soaked poha. Stir and mix well all the ingredients. Cover and cook for another 2 minutes.
Add lemon juice, sugar and chopped coriander leaves. Mix well and serve hot with a wedge of lemon.
You can garnish it with fresh grated coconut and sprinkle some sev on it while serving.
Enjoy! Have a great day ahead!!!
