Schezwan Poha ( Beaten Rice )

We all make traditional Indian onion poha or potato poha. I tried this different, innovative version and it turned out so tasty. Please try this healthier version, as it contains lots of vegetables.

Ingredients

• Thick poha: 2 cups
• Chopped onion: 1 cup
• Chopped capsicum: 1 cup (2 medium)
• Chopped cabbage: 1 cup
• Grated carrot: 1 cup
• Chopped spring onion: 1 1/2 cups
• Chopped tomato: 1 cup
• Green peas: 1 cup
• Chopped green chillies: 1 tsp
• Cumin seeds: 1 tsp
• Lemon slices, for decoration
• Salt: 1 1/2 tsp, or to taste
• Vegetable oil: 1/4 cup or 6 tsp
• Schezwan chutney: 4 tsp

Method

1. Soak the poha in enough water, then drain.
2. Heat the oil in a heavy-bottomed vessel or kadhai.
3. Add the cumin seeds and chopped green chillies.
4. Add 2 tsp of Schezwan chutney.
5. Roast for a little while; you will smell a lovely spicy aroma.
6. Add the onion, cabbage, capsicum, carrot, green peas and tomato one by one.
7. Mix well. Do not overcook the vegetables; they should be half cooked.
8. Add 1 cup of spring onion, the soaked poha, the remaining Schezwan chutney and the salt. Keep 1/2 cup of spring onion aside for decoration.
9. Mix well, and turn off the heat once everything is combined.
10. Decorate with lemon slices and spring onion. Sprinkle with coriander leaves if you like.

Serve this mouth-watering recipe hot!
