Poha Pulihora / Puli Aval

I am so reminded of my grandma every time i do this. It is a very easy breakfast item and very filling. Poha / Aval / Flattened rice is known to fill your stomach by absorbing the water in stomach and easily digestible.  She used to make it for me when i return back from school along with a big cup of filter coffee. It is very healthy, those who diet can have this often without any further thoughts.

Takes roughly about 10-12 minutes.




Ingredients :

Poha / Aval / Flattened rice - 2 cups
Onion - 1 big (finely chopped)
Tamarind juice - 1/4 cup
Turmeric - 1/4 tsp
Boiled potato - 1 (cut into cubes)
Asafoetida - 1 pinch
Salt - To taste
Mustard - 1 tsp
Jeera - 1/2 tsp
Green chilli - 1 (chopped finely)
Curry Leaves - 1 sprig
Coriander leaves - for garnish
Chana dal - 1 tsp
Oil - 2 tbsp

Method :

1. Wash the poha and soak it in tamarind juice for about 2 minutes. Do not add excess water or juice else it will get mashed up. Just until it absorbs water is good
2. Strain the excess water. spread it in a plate / dish
3. Heat a pan, add oil. Add mustard & let it splutter. Add jeera, chana dal, chilli and curry leaves
