01
Step
Preparation
Rinse the Poha flakes in a fine mesh sieve under cold running water for about 30 seconds. This helps remove any impurities and excess starch.
02
Step
Preparation
Drain the water and let the Poha sit for about 5 minutes to soften slightly. This step helps the Poha absorb the flavors better.

Tempering
Heat a large pan or kadai over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of mustard oil or ghee.
04
Step
Tempering
Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Let them sizzle and pop.
05
Step
Tempering
Add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) and sauté for a few seconds until fragrant.
