CORN AND CARROT POHE

Hello everyone

Before marriage I was not a very big admirer of poha. As in our family,only my youngest brother loves it, so mom used to make it rarely. But after marriage found that hubby is die hard fan of pohe. He can have it everyday in breakfast without getting bore. But as per my interest I started making twist and turns in basic recipe of poha . And now I too love to have it any time but still not everyday😜. Today I planned to prepare poha for breakfast but peas were finished. But I was not in mood of preparing anything else so gave my twist and added some sweet corn and carrots. Viola It too was so yummy and delicious to resist. Though it was not planned to share its recipe here in my blog , so didn't clicked stepwise pics, but be sure to get elaborated stepwise recipe. As it's so simple and easy to prepare that  first timer can also prepare perfectly.
Recipe is given below. Hope you all will like it and do share your experience with me here.

CORN AND CARROT POHE



Serves: 2-3
Time : 20 mins

Ingredients 

1 cup flattened rice ( pohe) thick ones
1/2 cup sweet corn kernels ( you can also use peas)
1/2 carrot, grated
2 medium onions, thinly sliced 
1/2 tsp ginger garlic paste 
2-3 green chilies, finely chopped ( as per taste)
1 medium tomato, finely chopped 
1/4 tsp cumin seeds
1/4 tsp mustard seeds
1/4 tsp turmeric powder

1/4 tsp chaat masala powder ( optional)
2 tbsp green coriander leaves, finely chopped 
Salt to taste
Oil
Handful of roasted peanuts or any savory mixture, for garnishing 

Method:

First of all wash flattened rice ( pohe)  and drain all the water. Keep it aside for later use.

Now heat some oil in a wok , add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Let them crackle then add onion and chilies. Saute till onions get transparent. 

Now add ginger garlic paste and saute for a minute. Add corn and carrot followed by turmeric powder and some salt. Saute for a minute and cover to cook for 2-3 minutes. 

Now add chopped tomatoes and again cover to cook till tomatoes get mushy. Add coriander leaves and mix well. Now add flattened rice ( pohe), black pepper powder , chaat masala and salt . 

Mix well and saute for 2-3 minutes. Serve in individual bowls and garnish with some peanuts or mixture. 



Your delicious breakfast is ready to serve hot with a cup of tea or coffee.


** You can also add some other veggies too, like capsicum, beans, peas, potatoes etc. keep changing ingredients and enjoy new flavor every time.



** You can increase quantity of onions as per your taste. As I like too many onions in my poha, it leads to poha' taste to another level.



You can prepare it for morning breakfast or for evening snacks. It's not only yummy but filling too.
