Poha

Method

1. 1 Rinse the flattened rice under running water in a colander for exactly 30 seconds, then let it drain for 10 minutes.
2. 2 Do not soak the flat rice in water; just rinse and drain it. Soaking will turn the whole pan into a mushy paste.
3. 3 Roast the peanuts in oil for 3 minutes, then remove them to maintain their crispness.
4. 4 Sauté the mustard seeds until they crackle, then add the curry leaves, chili peppers, and diced potatoes, and stir-fry for 8 minutes.
5. 5 Add the flattened rice and turmeric, stir gently for 3 minutes, then squeeze in some lemon juice, sprinkle with roasted peanuts and cilantro.
