Delicious Aval Upma in 10 minutes!
An easy/quick life saver it is. Be it sudden guests or sudden hunger, got Aval? You got yourself a feast.
- Soak 1 cup of Aval (preferably the think ones) in just enough water to immerse it for about 5 minutes
- Drain the excess water without squeezing the poha (Aval). Squeezing might make the Aval unhappy
- In a pan heat about 2 tsp of oil and season it with 1 tsp of mustard seeds
- Allow it to crackle (a trick my DH is yet to learn!! )
- Add a spring of curry leaves, 1 tsp of urid dhal, 1tsp of chana dhal, a pinch of hing
- Optional: add broken cashews, peanuts and roast them for a minute
- Add 1 long green chilly, finely sliced
- Add thinly chopped red onions (1/2 medium size onion or about 10 pearl onions)
- Add salt per taste and a pinch of turmeric powder
- Saute the onions till they turn translucent (Do not brown them. Onions must remain crunchy)
- Now toss the soaked Poha and stir for few mins on low flame
- The Aval must be well coated with the oil and turn yellow
- Sprinkle coriander leaves and remove from the stove
- Serve hot with raita or as is
- Optional: you may squeeze some lemon juice (very little) for a different flavor
