To roast n grind
- 2 teaspoon peppercorns

Tempering
- 1 teaspoon oil
- ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
- ¼ teaspoon hing
- 1 teaspoon chana dal

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.
