Ingredients

1 cup of Thick Poha/Rice Flakes
salt to taste
fresh coriander leaves for garnish

To roast n grind

2 teaspoon peppercorns
2 sprigs curry leaves
1 teaspoon urad dal
½ teaspoon white sesame seeds optional
½ teaspoon flax seeds optional

Tempering

1 teaspoon oil
½ teaspoon mustard seeds
¼ teaspoon hing
1 teaspoon chana dal
1 tablespoon broken cashews

Instructions

Take Poha in a colander and wash it well under running water. This is to make the poha soft. You can also soak poha in water for a minute and drain well in a colander. Keep it aside until use. Too much soaking will make the poha mushy, so i always prefer to wash under running water and drain.
Dry roast the ingredients given under 'Roast & grind' and powder it in a mixer. i usually make a little extra quantity of this and store it the fridge. This spice powder can be used in other dishes to add flavor.
Heat oil given under 'tempering' in a kadai, splutter mustard seeds, add hing, chana dal and cashews and saute for a minute or until they change color.
Now add the soft poha to this tempering and mix well. Add the ground spice mix, salt and mix well.
Garnish with coriander leaves and serve immediately with plain yogurt or some raita by the side.

Enjoy this delicious, peppery poha as such or with a side of plain yogurt. I love mine with a cup of hot chai, bliss it is.

This pepper poha can be packed for kids lunch box too. My kiddos love it with plain curd and some crisp on side.

Though it fits the lunchbox bill, I love it when it is served straight from the stove.
