Instructions

Rinse the flattened rice (poha) in water and drain. Set aside.
Heat oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add curry leaves and chopped onions. Sauté until onions are translucent.
Add green peas, turmeric powder, and salt. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
Add the rinsed poha to the pan and mix gently. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Turn off the heat and add lemon juice. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.

Tips

Ensure poha is not too soggy; rinse just enough to moisten.
Adjust spices and salt according to your taste.
