Chuda Santula | Mixed Vegetable Poha • The Magic Saucepan

Poha is my family favourite unanimously. So I decided that I would try as many variations as possible. This is my third poha dish this marathon, and I am quite amazed to find out so many variations with this ingredient. Invariably every state has something to offer. Chuda (Poha) and Mudhi (Puffed rice), in Orissa is a common item for breakfast. This variety of poha has a lot of veggies, no turmeric and the main difference is that, poha is roasted. This can also be had for snack sans the veggies. Chuda means Poha in Oriya and Santula means - Mixed veggies. Sbsutitute poha with puffed rice for Mudhi Upma.

Chuda Santula | Mixed Vegetable Poha

Roasted Poha upma with mixed veggies.

Prep time: 5 mins | Cook time: 10 mins | Total time: 15Mins | Serves: 2

Ingredients

2 Cups Thin Poha | Flattened rice flakes
1 Cup Veggie (of your choice)
Salt to taste
½ Cup Peanuts, roasted
2 Tbsp Lime juice

For the tempering

2 Tbsp Oil
1 tsp Mustard seeds
½ Cup Finely Chopped Onions
2-3 Green chillies, finely chopped

Instructions

Heat a pan and roast the peanuts and poha separately.
Heat oil in the same Kadai | Pan. Once hot, add the mustard seeds, green chillies, curry leaves and onions.
Saute until the onions turn translucent. Add the veggies and cook them till they become soft.
Then add the roasted poha, peanuts, and salt. Sprinkle very less water, just to moisten the poha.
Turn off the stove, add lime juice and close it for about 5 mins.
The residual heat will moisten the poha.
Serve it with coconut chutney.

Notes

If you are using the thick variety poha, soak them in water for about 2 minutes, drain it and then use it. For the thin variety it is not necessary.
If having this for snacks do not add water and have them crunchy.
