How to make poha

2 genuinely different takes — a classic, and a faster or lighter route. The same ones the app hands you once you have decided.

The Indore breakfast

15 minutes · serves 2 · Easy

What you need

  • 150g thick poha
  • 2 tbsp oil
  • 1 tsp mustard seeds
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 potato, diced small
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric
  • 10 curry leaves
  • Lemon
  • Sev, to finish

What you do

  1. 1Rinse the poha in a sieve under the tap for 20 seconds, then leave it to drain. It should be damp, never wet.
  2. 2Pop the mustard seeds in the oil, add the curry leaves, onion and potato, and cook until the potato is done.
  3. 3Turmeric and salt, then the poha folded through gently — it breaks if you stir it like rice.
  4. 4Lid on, 2 minutes. Lemon and sev at the table.
