Tips to make delicious Vegetable poha Recipe:

1. Rinse the poha: Rinse the poha flakes in water to remove any dirt or debris. Use a fine-mesh strainer to avoid breaking the flakes. Soak the poha in water for a few minutes until they become soft but not mushy. Drain the water and keep the poha aside.
2. Use the right ingredients: Use fresh ingredients like curry leaves, green chilies, and coriander leaves to add flavor to the poha. You can also add onions, potatoes, peanuts, or any other veggies of your choice to make the dish more wholesome.
3. Add the seasoning: In a pan, heat some oil, and add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, and chopped green chilies. When the seeds start to splutter, add chopped onions, and sauté until they turn translucent. Add some turmeric powder and salt as per your taste.
4. Cook the poha: Add the soaked poha to the pan and mix well with the seasoning. Cook the poha on low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add some lemon juice and garnish with coriander leaves.
5. Serve hot: Poha is best served hot. You can serve it with some fresh coconut, roasted peanuts, and a cup of hot tea for a perfect breakfast or snack.
6. Adjust the consistency: If the poha is too dry, you can sprinkle some water and cover the pan for a few minutes. If it is too moist, cook on high flame for a few minutes, stirring continuously.

By following these tips, you can make a delicious and healthy poha recipe that is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a snack.
