Folks, it is not everyday that I get to experiment in the kitchen. But today morning, when I was actually struggling to find a different dish that I could make, I stumbled upon this idea.
I tried it out and got rave reviews from my family members. So, thought of posting this very quick-n-simple-to-make dish for benefit of others.
==========================
Ingredients:
==========================
Frozen Peas - half cup (safal or any such brand)
Capsicum - 2 medium sized ones, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
Onions - 2 large - chopped length-wise
Thick Poha - 3 cups (do NOT soak in water)
Oil - 2 TSP
Turmeric - 1 TSP
Chilli Powder - as per taste & spice desired - I added 1.5 tsps
Salt - as per taste
Grated Coconut, optional
Coriander leaves - finely chopped for garnishing.
Method:
=======
* Boil frozen peas and chopped capsicum together until done (microwave for 7-10 minutes), drain all water and keep it aside
* In a kadai, pour 2 tsp oil, add chopped onions, turmeric, chilli poweder and salt.
* Stir fry until onions are done
* To this, add boiled peas and capsicum and continue to stir fry for next 3-5 mins. This is to ensure peas and capsicum soak in the masala
* Add the dry poha and mix it well.
* Pour water into the kadai (little less than needed to submerge all the poha)
* Cover the kadai with a lid and keep the gas on medium flame and let this cook for another 8 minutes. In between, keep opening the lid and mixing the poha properly. Else, the poha at the bottom of the kadai might get over cooked and the ones at the top may be raw.
* Once poha is sufficiently cooked, garnish with freshly grated coconut, chopped coriander leaves * Serve hot
Yummy :)
