I am not a Poha lover myself and never tried to cook it before marriage though my mum made the best poha. I learnt it to satisfy my hubby's cravings for Poha and it has come out good every time.I modified mum's original recipe and made this super easy Tamarind Poha which is one of Hubby's favourite now.
Wash and Soak the Poha in water for 10 minutes. Make sure not to add too much water because it can go mushy.
Soak tamarind in 1/4 cup of water for 10 minutes and then crush it to get the juice out of it. Filter the juice in a cup and keep it aside.
Heat oil in a pan, add mustard seeds, onion and green chillies. Fry till the onion looks transparent.
Pour the tamarind juice and boil it for 3 minutes.
Add salt, garam masala powder and mix it. Boil the mixture for 2 more minutes.
Add the Soaked Poha and give it a mix. Cover the lid and cook for a minuted and switch off the flame.
Garnish it with coriander leaves and serve hot.
