Ingredients

  • 1 cup poha / aval I used thick variety
  • ¼ cup coconut
  • 5 cashews broken
  • ½ teaspoon ghee
  • salt to taste

To Temper :

  • 1 and ½ teaspoon oil
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • ½ teaspoon urad dal / jeera
  • teaspoon hing
  • 1 sprig curry leaves
  • 2 green chilies sliced

Instructions

  • Soak aval for 3-5 minutes (depends on the variety of aval you use), Set aside. In a pan heat ghee and roast the cashews until golden brown, set aside. In the same pan heat oil - add the items listed under 'to temper' let it splutter.
  • Then drain water from aval and add it to the tempered items, add required salt. Give a quick stir then add coconut and mix well. Finally add in fried cashews and switch off.
  • Serve hot with coconut chutney or any chutney of your choice!

Notes

Adjust soaking time according to the poha variety. If its thin poha then take it immediately after a min or so after soaking, else it will get mushy.
If you prefer you can even add chopped onions after tempering.
You can replace green chilies with red chilies while tempering. For a variation you can even use cumin seeds while tempering.
