Peanuts1/2 cup, roasted

Optional extras

Instructions

1
Toast the flattened rice (poha) in a dry pan until it smells like toast — this is what keeps the final dish fluffy, not gluey.
2
Pop the mustard seeds in hot oil, add lentils if using, and wait for them to blush gold.
3
Fry the onions till soft and translucent, add ginger and turmeric; two minutes more.
4
Stir in the peanuts, then the flattened rice (poha); mix with a light hand so nothing turns to mush.
5
Steam briefly covered, then cut through the mixture and fluff; squeeze lemon over and shower with cilantro and coconut.

Chef's tip

If the masala sticks, add water a tablespoon at a time rather than drowning the dish.
