Equipment

• Stovetop

Ingredients

  

• 2 Cups Thick Poha / Flattened Rice / அவல்
• ¼ Cup Peanuts / கடலை
• ¼ Cup Fried Grams / பொட்டுக்கடலை
• 10 Cashew / முந்திரி
• 10 Raisins / உலர்ந்த திராட்சை
• 2 Sprig Curry Leaves / கருவேப்பில்லை
• ½ tsp Turmeric Powder / மஞ்சள்தூள்
• 2 tsp Red Chilli Powder / மிளகாய்த்தூள்
• Salt / உப்பு As Required
• Oil For Deep Frying

Instructions

 

• First, measure and keep all the ingredients ready. I used a metal strainer to fry, so it will be easy to collect all the fried items but you can fry in oil directly too. Heat oil in a pan and add the peanuts.
• Once the peanuts turn  to golden colour, drain it in a kitchen towel.
• Then add the fried gram, fry it in very low flame as it turns brown soon and keep aside. Now fry the cashews and raisins.
• Simmer the flame and fry the poha in batches. Finally, fry the curry leaves till crispy.
• To a wide plate or bowl, transfer the fried poha, peanuts, fried gram, cashews, raisins and curry leaves.
• Add turmeric powder, chilli powder and required salt. Do the mixing when the fried items are warm itself, so the turmeric and chilli powder sticks to the poha.
