Ingredients
2 Cups Poha (Rice Flakes)1 Small Onion (Chopped)1 Tbsp Olive Oil1 Tsp Black Mustard Seeds2 Tbsp Turmeric Powder1/4 Tsp Salt2-3 Bay Leaves (not eaten, just added for flavouring)
Directions
In a large skillet, add chopped onion, olive oil, salt, bay leaves and black mustard seeds. Cook on a medium heat until onion becomes translucent, stirring occassionally. Reduce heat to low.

In a colander (strainer) add the 2 cups of rice flakes - run under tap water for 2-3 minutes, ensuring flakes are soaked. Allow to strain completely, flakes should begin to plump up.

Add rice flakes to the skillet, heating for about 3-5 mintues. Remove bay leaves before serving.

Makes 4 - 1 cup servings.

I usually add 1/2 cup of cooked frozen veggies to each serving to achieve a healthy vegetable intake for this meal.
