How to make Spiced Potato & Flattened Rice (Aloo Poha) with Peanuts & Peas
- Rinse the 1.5 cups of thick poha gently under cold running water for 1-2 minutes until softened but not mushy, then drain thoroughly and set aside to swell.
- Peel and dice the large potato into 1/4-inch cubes. Finely chop the 0.5 medium onion, 1-2 green chilies, and grate the 1 tsp fresh ginger.
- Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add 0.5 tsp mustard seeds and allow them to splutter, about 30 seconds.
- Add 0.5 tsp cumin seeds, 8 curry leaves, chopped green chilies, and grated ginger. Sauté for 30-45 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then, stir in the diced potatoes and 0.5 tsp turmeric powder.
- Cover the skillet and cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes, or until they are tender. Add 0.25 cup frozen green peas and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Gently add the softened poha, 0.25 cup roasted peanuts, salt to taste, and 0.5 tsp sugar to the skillet. Mix everything thoroughly but carefully, ensuring the poha doesn't break apart.
- Cover the skillet and let the poha cook for 2-3 minutes over low heat, allowing the flavors to meld and the poha to heat through. Turn off the heat.
- Stir in 1 tbsp fresh lime juice and garnish with 2 tbsp fresh coriander leaves before serving hot.
