I am trying to reproduce what I had learnt from my mom here, I may never be able to fill her shoes in terms of creating the same taste... but just a try and this blog is dedicated to my mother and grandmother for teaching me everything about cooking and it's one thing that I enjoy the most.
I specially remember this one instance : As usual my mom made this dish for breakfast and then as you all know we have guests visit us anytime of the day in India, (which I miss the most in USA) any way my mom always welcomed anyone and everyone and never sent them away with out offering them food and so u know now what happened, myself and my sister were left with a little amount of poha and I should say that it was one of the tastiest poha I have eaten till date and all my attempts to recreate it like that day continues.... I am hopeful one day I will be successful in these attempts...
Any way here is the recipe:
Ingredients:
Thick Poha 2 cups
Onion 1no.
Peanuts 2 tsps
Mustard 1 tsp
Cumin seeds 1 tsp
Turmeric 1/2 tsp
Red Chilli 1no.
Curry leaves 1 strand
Coconut 1/2 cup
Cilantro 1/2 cup
Lemon juice 2 tsps
Place oil in the vessel and once it is heated add mustard, cumin, peanuts, curry leaves, red chilli once u hear popping sounds, add the onion and turmeric and fry it for 5 min until onion are done and soft and then add the poha and mix well and then add the coconut, cilantro leaves and lemon juice and u are done!!
Serve hot to all loved ones and enjoy with all!!
