How to Make Poha with green peas

• Wash the beaten rice two times and drain. Squeezing is not necessary.
• Let the wet poha stand for about 20 minutes, till it resembles cooked rice.
• Heat oil in a pan and add the mustard seeds.
• When mustard seeds splutter, add the two dals and roast till golden in colour.
• Add the asafoetida powder.
• Add the broken red chillies and fry till crisp.
• Add the curry leaves, and then the green peas and salt.
• If you are using frozen peas, cover with a lid and let the peas cook on low fire.
• Next add the soaked poha and blend well.
• Cover and cook on low heat for two minutes.
• Remove lid and stir well to break up lumps if any.
