Poha or Aval, made from flattened rice, is an easy-to-cook, nutritious snack.

Ingredients:

1 Cup Aval / Rice flakes / Poha (I've used the thick variety)
2 Green chilly
2 Cloves Garlic (Finely Chopped)
1/2 tsp Chilli powder
1 small Onion(Finely Chopped)
1/4 tsp Turmeric powder
Few Curry leaves
Salt to taste
Tampering:
1/2 tsp Mustard
1/2 tsp Urad Dhal
1 Cup - Mixed vegetables of choice boiled (potato, peas, carrots, beans.)Method:

1. Sprinkle the ricefalkes with water to make it soft and keep aside.

2. Heat oil in a Pan and allow the mustard seeds to splutter. Now add urad dal, chillies, garlic, onions and curry leaves. Saute till onions turn light brown.

3. Mix in the boiled veg, chilli powder, turmeric powder and salt.

(I've used already made vegetable Poriyal which was left over from afternoon food, So I skipped step 3 and just added the already made vegetable poriyal).

4. Saute for 2 mins and add water. Now add the rice flakes and mix well(water will get absorbed). Check salt and add more if needed.5. Sprikle a little garam masala/ Lime Juice for taste.
