This dish is made in Karnataka using a coarse powder of thick poha (jada poha)
I got the recipe from a friend who introduced me to this. Very delicious option. I added a few more ingredients as per my choice.
Ingredients
1 cup thick poha / Flattened rice
Onion - 1 finely chopped
Boiled potato - 1 ( made in cubes)
Red chilli powder - 1 tsp
Roasted groundnut powder (coarse) - 1 tbsp
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Chana dal - 1 tsp
Udit dal - 1/2 tsp
Green chillies - 3
Curry leaves - 1 sprig
Oil - 2 tbsp
Salt to taste
Sugar - 1 tsp (optional)
Coriander leaves for garnish
Method:
1. First coarsely grind poha (flattened rice) in a mixer. Just use one or two pulse as you need a coarse powder .
2) Then put this in a colander and give this a wash(like you would to make poha) and drain and keep it for about 10 minutes. Check to ensure it does not become mushy.
3) In a pan heat oil and add chana dal,udit dal when it becomes golden add mustard seeds. Add curry leaves.
