Instructions:


Rinse the poha in a strainer under running water for a few seconds, then soak it in enough water to cover it. Let it soak for 5-10 minutes until it softens. Drain any excess water and set it aside.


In a large pan or wok or skillet, heat the sweet oil over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds and sauté for a few seconds until they start to splutter.

Tips:


Adjust the amount of green chili according to your taste.

You can add vegetables like peas, carrots, and potatoes to make the poha more nutritious and colorful.
