I had made this snack for my dear friends (Ashesh , Kavita and family and Puneet, Neelam and family) who came to wish us on our anniversary evening and made our day more special. I had served the poha fritters with masala chai and pumpkin leaves patra and eggless tutti fruti cake.

Equipment

• mixing bowl
• spoon
• knife
• flat pan
• spatula

Ingredients

• 1 cup poha beaten rice flakes
• 1/2 cup semolina sooji
• 1/2 cup yogurt I had used homemade yogurt
• 1/4 cup water
• 2 tbsp green capsicum finely chopped
• 1/4 cup onion
• 2 tbsp tomato finely chopped
• 8 curry leaves finely chopped
• 1 green chili finely chopped
• 1 tbsp coriander washed and finely chopped
• 1/4 tsp turmeric powder haldi
• 1/2 tsp red chili powder or as per spice level needed
• 1/2 tsp cumin seeds jeera
• 1/4 tsp garam masala
• salt as per taste
• 10 tsp oil
• 1/4 tsp eno optional

Instructions

• Take poha( beaten rice) in a mixing bowl .
  
• Wash it gently for 2-3 times with water. Remove excess water and cover and keep aside the poha to absorb all the water for 10 minutes.
  
• After 10 minutes add semolina and yogurt to the well soaked soft poha.
  
• Mix well with the help of spoon.
  
• Add water to adjust the consistency of the batter. Mix well.
  
• Add chopped vegetables – green capsicum, tomato, onion, green chili, coriander, curry leaves.
  
• Mix everything well.
  
• Add spices – cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, salt.
  
• Mix well and cover and keep aside for 20 minutes. The water will release from the vegetables.
  
• After 20 minutes, put the flat pan to heat and brush it with some oil.
  
• Add eno to the batter. (this is optional) . I prefer adding it a little as it make cooking easier and needs less oil while cooking. Add 2 tsp water on top of eno , the bubbles will form and mix the batter gently.
  
• With the help of spoon , drop spoonful of batter on the heated pan and spread it into small ovals keeping space in between. Cook on medium heat for 4 minutes till golden from bottom.
  
• Flip the fritters and cook on both sides till golden and crisp putting some oil in between . ( I had not taken the pics of cooking). Cook all the fritters in the same way.
  
• Serve the garma garam poha nashta or poha fritters with ketchup or chutney of your choice.
  
• I had served the poha fritters with masala chai and pumpkin leaves patra to all my dear friends when they came to wish us on our anniversary evening.
