Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • Heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, jeera, urad dal and chana dal.
  • When they start spluttering, add peanuts and bengal gram.
  • Now add chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt, curry leaves, chaat masala and Immunity powder.
  • Add poha now and fry well in medium heat until poha is well roasted (around 10 mins in medium flame is good enough).
  • Switch off the flame and let it cool.
  • Store in airtight containers.

Notes

  • Poha is rich in iron and fiber, easy to digest too.
  • Adding the peanuts, chana dal, bengal gram and urad dal makes it rich in protein too.
  • It has a longer shelf life and can be stored in airtight containers for 7 to 10 days.
Variations
  • You can add makhana for extra crunch.
  • Nuts and seeds can be added too.
  • Poha can be replaced by oats in this recipe too.
