Indian Poha (Rice Flakes)

2 Cups Poha (Rice Flakes)
1 Small Onion (Chopped)
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Tsp Black Mustard Seeds
2 Tbsp Turmeric Powder
1/4 Tsp Salt
2-3 Bay Leaves (not eaten, just added for flavouring)

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.

Number of Servings: 4
