Notes
How to make Alu Matar Poha
Step 1: Firstly we need to chop all the veggies into small pieces. Don’t roughly chop them, try to chop them into fine pieces. Else they may not fry properly within short time.
Step 2: If you are using the extreme thick poha then it’s the time to wash it. After washing the poha add little water on it. This process will help our poha get moist and fluffy.
Tips: Don’t use much water, If you have 1 cup of poha (extreme thick flattened rice) then after 3 time washing them add or sprinkle 2-3 tbsp. of water. But don’t use any extra water, if you are using medium thick poha (flattened rice).
Step 3: Take a fry pan and heat it. Now add 2 tbsp. of oil on the preheated pan. Now when the oil starts smoking, add 1 tsp of mustard seed and cumin seeds. Wait for the spluttering of them and now we will add 1 dry red chili and curry leaves into the oil and fry them for 1/2 miniute.
Step 4: At this point we will add chopped potatoes and fry them for at least 4-5 minutes. To this lengthy step replace the raw potato with the boiled potato.
Step 5: Now we will add chopped bell pepper (capsicum), green peas, green chilies into the oil. Fry them all for 3-4 minutes on low flame and add 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder into it. Mix them all very well.
Step 6: It’s time to add soaked poha (flattened rice), roasted peanuts, salt and sugar into the fry pan. Gently mix them with using a spatula. Roughly mix them otherwise our poha will break into pieces.
