I make aval upma very often. But this vegetable poha was something which I learned from
srivalli. Its very easy to make and it took just 10 mts altogether to finish the recipe.
Ingredients:-
- Thick Poha (getti aval) - 1 cup
- Onion - 1 (finely chopped)
- Carrot - 1 or 1/2 depending upon the req. quantity (finely chopped)
- Peas - 3 tbsp
- salt to taste
- Oil - 2 tsp
- Mustard seeds - 1/2 tsp
- Urad dhall - 1 tsp
- channa dhall - 1tsp
- Green chillies - 1 (optional)
- asafoetida - a pinch
- curry leaves & coriander leaves - for garnishing.
- Roasted Almond Powder - 2 tsp
Wash poha nicely and soak it in water for 5 minutes. Drain it after it becomes soft and keep it aside. In the mean time, preheat oil in a pan, splutter mustard seeds, fry urad dhall, channa dhall, green chillies & asafoetida for a minute. Add onion and saute for couple of minutes. Now add the other vegetables one by one and let it cook few 3 to 5 minutes. When the vegetable becomes tender, add the drained poha, add required amount of salt and roasted almond powder ** and mix everything well. Garnish it with curry leaves & coriander leaves.
** Srivalli has used roasted peanut powder instead of almond powder.
