Vegetable Poha # Vegetable Flat rice # vegetable atukulu # Easy and healthy breakfast

Poha Upma with vegetables is easy to prepare within very less time. For working women especially on sundays when we wake up late, we can prepare this and serve hot. Poha is nothing but atukulu in Telugu and flat rice in English.

Ingredients;

Poha (mota only); 1/4 kg
carrot; 2 small
beans; fistful
green peas; fistful (optional)
potato: 1 medium sized
sweet corn: fistful (optional)
onion             ; 1 big
mustard seeds; for seasoning
jeera               ; for seasoning
urad dal          ; for seasoning
oil                   ; 4 table spoons
green chillies ;  6 to 8 as prefered
red chillies     ; 1 or 2
curry leaves   ; few
Turmeric       ; 1 big pinch
dhaniya          ; 1 bunch
(kothimeer)

Preparation time 20 min

Firstly chop and keep all the vegetables into small cubes ready (beans, carrot, potato and onion).
Wash and drain the poha once to clean it from dust.






Now take a pan, put some oil and add mustard, jeera and urad dal and allow it to splutter. Now add the sliced onions, green chillies (sliced) and 1 or 2 red dry chillies, curry leaves and stir well till the onions change colour. Then add the chopped vegetables carrot, potato and beans. You can also add green peas,sweet corn or baby corn as you wish.




Fry these vegetbales for 2, 3 minutes and add some water to it (about half a cup).Also add a big pinch of turmeric. Put the flame on medium and allow the vegetables to cook properly. Add little salt in water just enough for the vegetbales only. **If we wont add little salt here, while eating we feel these vegetable pieces saltless and not so tasty **


Check if the vegetables are well cooked, soft enough and now squeeze the water from the flat rice little by little and add it to these vegetables. ** See that not much water is left in these vegetables otherwise when u add the poha and mix well, it will become like a paste **



Mix poha and the vegetables properly, add salt as per your taste and mix well and allow it get hot. keep mixing for 3, 5 minutes and switch off the stove. Finally season it with dhaniya or kothimeer or coriander as you call and serve hot.



You can serve it with little pickle and curd. Its too good when hot!!
