Dahi poha

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup thin variety Poha(flattened rice)/Avalakki
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh thick creamy Curd
  • 2 tbsp grated fresh Coconut
  • 1/2" Ginger,finely chopped
  • 3-4 Green chillies,slit

  • 1/2 tsp Mustard seeds
  • Salt to taste
  • 2 tsp Oil
Method:
  1. Clean and wash poha and remove all the water and let it sit for 7-8 mins.As we are using thin poha it does not need much water to get soaked.If you are using thick poha add some water while soaking it.
  2. Beat curd nicely with salt and add to the soaked poha and mix gently,otherwise it would become mushy.If you need more curd to mix it feel free to add acccording to your wish.Keep this aside again for 10-12 mins.
  3. Heat oil in a small kadai and crackle mustard seeds.
  4. Add chana dal,urad dal and fry until they turn slight red in color.
  5. Add slit green chillies and fry until you see blisters forming on them.
  6. Add red chillies,curry leaves,cashew nuts and raisins(if using) and fry for a minute.Switch off the flame and let it cool.
  7. Add coriander,grated fresh coconut and fried tempering mixture to the soaked poha and mix well until everything is mixed.
  8. Chill it for some time and serve it.
