POHA UPMA/ATUKULA UPMA

A healthy and easily digestible evening dinner recipe which can be made in no time is poha upma(atukula upma). Good for those who are on a diet. A truly filling and tasty recipe.
Choose poha which is thick.(dampudu atukulu, which are rich in fiber and vitamins and not the thin version). You can add lots of veggies and nuts to suite your taste.

INGREDIENTS

Thick poha                    3 cups
Onions                          1 thinly sliced
Potato, carrot                 1 each, diced
Green chillies                1 chopped
Coriander                      1 Tsp chopped
Oil                                 2 Tsp
Turmeric                        1/2 tsp
Salt                                 to taste
Cashews                         optional
Urad dal, chana dal        1 Tsp each
Mustard, jeera                 1 tsp each

PROCEDURE
Soak the thick poha in water for 20 minutes. Squeeze the water and set aside.
If you use the thin poha don't soak the poha. Just rinse in water and squeeze the water. I strongly recommend thick poha.
Heat oil in a pan and add the dals, jeera, mustard and cashews.
When the dals are fried add the veggies, green chillies.
Add a bit of salt.
Cover and cook till the veggies turn soft.
Now add the turmeric, poha, salt(enough for the upma).
Mix well and serve with curd.
