Green Chili1
Ghee2 tbsp
Potato1, diced
Mustard Seeds1 tsp
Curry Leaves1 sprig
Lemon1
Flattened Rice (Poha)1.5 cups

Instructions

1
Rinse the flattened rice (poha) briefly and let it drain — it should be plump but not soggy.
2
In ghee, pop mustard seeds, then fry onion, green chili and curry leaves to soft gold.
3
Fold in the flattened rice (poha) with salt — gently, so it stays whole.
4
Toss 2-3 minutes on a low flame so every flake turns golden-tinged.
5
Finish with lemon, cilantro and an extra spoon of ghee.

Chef's tip

Fermented batter smells faintly sour and lifts with a spoon — trust your nose.
