Method:
- Rinse poha well. Extract tamarind pulp and soak poha in it.If it does not immerse fully add little water.
- Heat oil - add the ingredients listed under 'to temper' , add required salt and fry well until dals turn golden brown and peanuts are crisp. Then add the soaked poha and mix well. Cook covered for 3mins ad switch off.
Serve hot/warm.
My Notes:
- You can use any variety of poha but thick variety takes little more time to soak than the thin ones so soak it accordingly.
- Dont add more water else poha will turn mushy.
- If you make it thin poha it may not turn out as grains separated as in thick poha.
