TOMATO POHA RECIPE

Tomato Poha Recipe – a quick, spicy, tangy and easy to make dish … that’s a perfect option to serve any time of the day. Pair it up with some raita.. a bowl of hot steaming Tomato avalakki is all gone ..That’s how flavorful and delicious it is.  Hardly takes 15 mins to make. Sound’s interesting right?

Poha is one great lifesaver ingredient for mornings when you don’t have any dosa or idli batter in stock /whenever you have to fix something in a jiffy.  At any given time, you can find poha stocked in my pantry as it can be flavoured many ways like Avalakki Pongal , Huli Avalakki  , Gojju Avalakki , Avalakki Upkari etc and I love each of them. For today the chosen one is Tomato Poha. The base masala of this is almost the same as Tomato rice . A bhaji kind of masala is made using tomatoes, veggies and few spices and later mixed with soaked drained poha.

Few things to note while making tomato poha are :

  • Use thick poha only and don’t soak it. Just wash well and drain. We will be sprinkling little water and cooking it for about 10 mins later. This way poha absorbs flavours well.
  • One can add veggies or skip based on your preference and availability.
  • Some of the veggies that you can are finely chopped beans, carrot, capsicum, peas, corn etc.
  • In the below recipe, I have used mint for extra flavour. If you have use.. else skip or can even use kasoori methi.
So are you ready to make a note of this delicious Tomato Poha .. here you go !!
