  • 3/4 cup beans, finely chopped

Dry Spices

  • 1/2 tsp mustard seeds (sarso/rai)
  • 2 finely chopped green chillies, sliced (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
  • Use a minimal amount of salt
  • 2 sprigs coriander leaves, finely chopped for garnish
  1. Chop the vegetables and wash the curry leaves.
  2. Heat water and add a pinch of salt in a saucepan. Rinse and put the soya chunks in lukewarm water and let them soak for 10-15 minutes. Then, squeeze the chunks to remove excess water and set them aside.
  3. Pick and clean the rice flakes, with the help of a fine strainer and rinse them under running water for a minute or so to remove dirt. Then, soak the rice flakes for a few 1-2 minutes. Drain well and keep them covered in a bowl.
  4. In a karahi or a pan heat oil, add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
  5. Add asafoetida (hing), followed by green chillies. Stir for 2-3 seconds, then add peanuts. Stir until the peanuts turn slightly brown and add curry leaves.
  6. After a few seconds, add the chopped tomato and cook on a low flame until soft.
  7. Add the peas, chopped carrots, and beans. Sauté for 3-4 minutes.
  8. Add ¼ cup water and salt to the vegetables and soya chunks. Mix well, bring to a boil and then let the mixture simmer for 5-6 minutes.
  9. Once the vegetables are cooked, add the washed rice flakes and turmeric to the mixture. Mix well and cook for 5 minutes, covered, on a low flame. Give a gentle final stir to prevent the flakes from breaking and to mix up the poha.
  10. Add coriander leaves, lemon juice (optional) mix and serve.
