How to Make Tomato Poha

  1. Rinse the poha under running water until clean. Drain well.
  2. Gently mix 1/4 cup of water with the poha and let it sit for 15 minutes, then drain completely. Fluff with a fork to break up any clumps.
  3. In a bowl, combine the drained poha with salt, lime juice, turmeric powder, and red chili powder. Mix well.
  4. Heat oil in a broad, heavy-bottomed pan or saucepan over medium heat.
  5. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Allow them to splutter.
  6. Add the chopped onions, green chilies, and curry leaves. Sauté until the onions turn golden brown (about 5-7 minutes).
  7. Add the diced potatoes and tomatoes. Stir well and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
  8. Add the roasted peanuts and the seasoned poha to the pan. Mix everything thoroughly.
  9. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through and well combined.
  10. Remove from heat.
  11. Transfer the Tomato Poha to a serving dish.
  12. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately. Enjoy!
