We were bored of eating poha for breakfast, so thought of giving it a new look and taste!
Here is your everyday Poha with a twist in a form of yummy and crispy Poha cake.
Ingredients
- 1.5 cup poha medium think
- 3 brown bread(remove the sides)
- 2.5 tbsp rice flour or corn flour
- 2 green chillies (barik chopped)
- 1 medium onion (barik chopped)(optional)
- 1 tsp ginger garlic paste(if you don’t want garlic then use ginger paste or finely grated ginger)
- 1.5 tsp red chilli flakes(if not available then red chilli powder)
- 1.5 tsp chaat masala
- 1 tsp amchoor powder
- 1 tsp jeera poweder
- 2 tbsp finely chopped coriender
- 2-3 tbsp curd (mix well if req add little more curd)
Process
- Wash poha in running water.
- Remove the edges of bread, dip in water and squeeze all water with hand.
- In a big bowl add poha, bread, rice flour, green chilli, finely chopped onions, ginger garlic paste, spices, coriander and curd.
- Gently mix all the ingredients until it combines to form soft dough.
- Take a square pan and grease it with oil.
- Now spread the dough evenly( take one drop oil in your fingers to ovoid dough sticking ) in the pan and keep in fridge for 15minutes.
- Add 3-4 tbsp oil in flat base pan or tava.
- Take out the dough pan from Fridge and cut into rectangles.
- Slowly take out these rectangular peices and place in hot oil for frying.
- Slow the flame and let it cook, flip once it cooked properly from one side. Colour should be golden brown. ( If you want, you can deep fry it as well)
