Serving : 4 People
Cooking time : 20 Minutes
Ingredients:
- 9 cups thin poha flattened rice, 200 grams
- 9 tablespoons peanuts raw, 50 grams
- 9 tablespoons whole cashews raw, 50 grams
- 7.5 tablespoons oil 37 ml
- 6 tablespoons golden raisins
- 45–60 curry leaves
- generous pinch hing
- 1.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 0.75 + 1/8 teaspoon red chili powder or more to taste
- 1.5–2.25 teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- 0.75 + 1/8 teaspoon black pepper or to taste
- 6 teaspoons powdered sugar or to taste
Method :
-
Pre-heat oven to 350 F degrees.
-
Place thin poha in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast at 350 F degrees for 15 minutes until crispy, stir once in between. The color of the poha will not change, it will just roast and crisp up. Once roasted, transfer to a large bowl.
-
To the same baking sheet, now add peanuts and cashews. Roast at 350 F degrees for 11 to 13 minutes, stirring once in between until the nuts are golden brown in color. Transfer nuts to the same bowl as the poha and set aside.
-
Now heat 2.5 tablespoons of oil in a pan on medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the raisins and fry for 1 minute until the raisins swell up. Remove on a paper towel
-
Lower the heat to low and add the curry leaves and stir for 1-2 minutes. Push them to the side and add the hing and stir.
-
Add the turmeric and red chili powder and stir. Curry leaves should be completely crisp by now.
-
Transfer tempering to the bowl of roasted poha and nuts. Add salt, pepper, sugar and the fried raisins.
-
Mix everything using a spatula, slightly crush the curry leaves as you mix.
