This  snack is one of my favourites as it is very easy to rustle up for morning breakfast J

2 cups thick Beaten rice
1/2 tsp mustard seed (rai)
1/2 tsp cumin seeds
3 to 4 
slit green chillies
1/2 cup 
chopped onions

Oil
Salt to taste


For The Garnish:

1 tbsp grated fresh coconut
1 tbsp chopped coriander




METHOD:
1. Place the poha in a sieve and hold it under running water for a few seconds. Toss well to drain out all excess water and keep aside.

2. In a microwave safe bowl combine the oil, mustard seeds, cumin seeds, green chillies and curry leaves and microwave on high for 2 minutes.
3. Add the onions, turmeric powder and microwave for 1 minute.

4. Add the potatoes, sprinkle little water, mix well and microwave for 3 minutes, stirring once in between.

5. Add the poha, salt, sugar and mix well. Microwave on high for 2 minutes.

6. Add the lemon juice and mix well.

7. Serve hot garnished with the grated coconut and chopped coriander.
NOTE:
If the poha gets too dry sprinkle a tablespoon of milk, mix well and serve immediately.
