For the Poha
- 2 cup Flattened Rice poha, thin variety is recommended
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tbsp Turmeric Powder haldi
- 1 tbsp Sugar
For the Vegetable Sauté
- 1 tbsp Oil vegetable or coconut oil
- 1 tsp Mustard Seeds rai

Instructions
Prepare the Poha
- Wash the flattened rice (poha) thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. Gently mix in salt, turmeric powder, and sugar. Let it sit for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 hour, to soften.
Sauté the Vegetables
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Add curry leaves and green chilies. Sauté for a minute until fragrant.
- Add finely chopped onions and sauté until translucent. Add the chopped carrots, green peas, and sweet corn. Stir well and add salt to taste. Cover and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Combine and Finish
- Gently add the soaked poha to the pan with the cooked vegetables. Stir carefully to combine, ensuring not to break the poha. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and well combined. Be careful not to overcook.
Serve
- Remove from heat and stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice. Serve hot as a breakfast, lunch, or snack.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Vegetable Poha
- For best results, use thin poha. Thicker varieties may require longer soaking time.
- Don't overcook the poha. Overcooked poha becomes mushy. Aim for a soft yet fluffy texture.
- Feel free to add other vegetables like chopped potatoes, beans, or even finely chopped cilantro for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies according to your spice preference.
