AVIL UPMA


I was feeling like having some evening snack,which is not heavy and oily,i came across a pack of poha/avil lying in my cupboard.I thought nothing can be so light, healthy snack or u can make it as a tiffin too...anyways
here goes my version...
Ingredients
Avil/Poha-250 gm-300gm
Onion-1 chopped
Potato-1 chopped finely
Greenchillies-2
Peanuts(powdered/dehusked)-few
Turmeric powder
Salt to taste
Seasoning
Oil
Mustard seeds
Curry leaves
Hing-a pinch
Garnishing
Corriander leaves
Grated coconut
Method
Take poha and soak them for 5 minutes and drain it,if the poha is very thin then just wash them and strain immediately in strainer,else they will be soaked and becomes mushy.
Take a wide kadai/pan pour very little oil,when they gets hot,add mustard,once it pops up add green chillies,curry leaves,hing and saute,then add  onions,once they become transluent,add potato pieces then add a pinch of turmeric,and very little salt which is enough for potato such that they absorb them.then close the kadai/pan and let it cook for 2-3 mins,once they get cooked,add the poha which has be strained and kept.then mix them nicely and add salt to make into right propotion.Close with a lid and cook for another 5 mins.Cut corriander leaves and mix well.Serve this into a bowl ,and garnish with corriander leaves and grated coconut.
