Hi, I am Rachita Gupta currently residing in Helsinki, Finland. Cooking , reading and web surfing are my interests. Here I am giving  the recipe of Bread Poha, which is amazingly simple to cook but is very tasty and nutritious. It is a real quickie snack. I am sure you will like it!! I would love to receive your comments on e-mail.

 

INGREDIENTS

 

Bread 7-8 slices
Onion (optional) 1 (medium)-finely chopped
Tomato 1-chopped
Peas 1 / 4 tea cup
Beaten curds 1 cup
Rai (sarson) seeds 1 tsp
Curry Leaves 8-10 (chopped)
Water in a wide bowl
Salt as per taste
Black Pepper Powder as per taste
Turmeric Powder 1 / 3 tsp
Ghee/Oil 4-5 tsp

METHOD

Heat the kadhai/frying pan and put the oil in it.

When hot, put the rai seeds and curry leaves in it. When they begin to sputter, add the chopped onion and stir fry till golden brown. When the onion is half done, add the peas and sprinkling a little sugar and water in it, cover for 2-3 mins so that the peas are cooked.

Meanwhile, cut the brown edges of the bread - Soak the slices (one by one)in the water for 4-5 seconds each and then drain out all the water carefully by pressing between both the palms.

Crumble the dried slice between your fingers and add to the fried onions in the kadhai.

Add salt, pepper powder and turmeric powder to the kadhai.

Turn over the poha lightly in the kadhai and cover on low gas for 2 mins.

Add the dahi (curd) to the poha and mix the poha well so that all the bread pieces are covered with curd. Take care to do this with a light hand as the poha is fragile.

Lightly saute for 1-2 mins, take off from the gas and cover for 2 mins.

Serve hot, garnished with coriander leaves and served with Coriander Chutney/Tomato Ketchup.

Serves: 3-4 persons.
