Follow step-by-step with voice guidance.
1. Place thick flattened rice (poha) in a colander, rinse thoroughly under running water until soft, and drain well.
2. Heat oil in a pan over medium heat, add mustard seeds and cumin seeds until they splutter.
3. Add chopped green chilies, curry leaves, diced onions, and green peas, sautéing for 4 minutes until onions soften.
4. Stir in turmeric powder and salt.
5. Add drained poha into the pan, tossing gently to coat evenly with turmeric.
6. Cover and steam on low heat for 3 minutes.
7. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving warm.
Rinse Poha Gently: Rinse poha just until soft; soaking too long makes it mushy. Use Thick Poha: Thick flattened rice holds its shape better than thin varieties during cooking. Add Lemon Juice: Lemon juice at the end brightens all the spices.
Poha was soaked too long or thin variety was used instead of thick flattened rice.
