Namaskar . Welcome to nishamadhulika.com
We have prepared poha in various ways,
today we will prepare steamed poha.
These poha have a unique taste to it.
These are yummy and soft too.
You can add less oil if you wish.
Let's start making Poha.
To make steamed poha, first of all ,
let's wash and soak the poha.
We have taken 2 cup poha.
These poha are neither too thick nor thin.
These poha are of medium thickness.
We use this flattened rice for making poha.
We have taken clean poha.
Now let's wash it.
Pour water to wash it.
Soak the poha completely in water.
Drain out the water.
Wash the poha again.
You can wash it in a colander too.
But i find this method much easier,
poha is soaked well too.
Drain the water instantly.
Do not keep the poha in water for long.
All of the water is drained.
Very less water is left, almost 1 tsp.
Keep it.
It helps poha to puff up.
Now add 2 tsp sugar.
Add a little more than 1/2 tsp salt or to taste,
Less than 1/4 tsp turmeric powder,
Mix all ingredients well.
Keep the poha aside,
we have to add lemon juice to it.
Take a lemon and add its juice.
Add half a lemon's jiuce i.e 2 tsp juice.
Add juice to the poha and mix well.
Keep it aside for 5 minutes to set,
then stir it again.
5 minutes are done.
Toss the poha with the spoon and spread it.
Now we will cook them.
We have taken a vessel to place the colander filled with poha,
Fill the vessel with water and heat it.
Add 2 to 2.5 cup water.
Turn on flame and cover the vessel with lid,
so that it boils up quickly.
Place the poha in a colander.
You can see distinct poha grains.
Do not put too much water in the poha,
that they turn sticky and gooey.
Water should be as much so as to saok the poha.
We have washed the poha without leaving much water.
Spread the poha in the colander.
Water is boiling.
Place the poha filled colander in the vessel.
Steam is coming out of the water and this will cook the poha.
Keep the flame medium.
Cook the poha on medium flame for 10 minutes,
Poha is cooked in steam for 10 minutes.
You can see the steam coming out.
Steam is forming in water.
Poha is cooked and ready.
Turn off flame.
Soft poha is cooked and ready.
I am taking out the poha in a serving bowl.
Let's prepare tempering for the poha.
Heat the tadka pan.
Take 1 tsp oil,
If you prefer less oil then add 1/2 tsp oil or much.
Heat it up.
Oil is sufficiently hot,
add 1/2 tsp mustard seeds.
Mustard seeds are roasted well,
now add chopped curry leaves.
Also add 2 finely chopped de seeded green chilies,
slightly roast them.
You can add more green chilies if desired,
or you can skip if making poha specially for children.
Tempering is ready.
Add tempering to poha and mix it.
Poha and tempering have mixed well.
Poha is ready,now let's serve it.
Put the poha in a plate.
Sprinkle a little peanuts over it,
some chat masala over it.

Steamed and grainy poha is ready.
Poha tastes sumptuous.
Making these is really easy.
