Kaandha Poha!

My favorite and a simple go to breakfast for a lazy morning. Kaandha poha is everything in itself. The taste of caramelized onions, the spice of green chillies is nothing but lip smacking. Moreover it is a dish wherein you make use of minimum ingredients and it is ready in a short span of time. It is a perfect dish on a rainy morning, with garam garam masala tea. You sit by the window and enjoy the pitter patter of rain drops, while you sip in the tea and munch on the poha.

Here goes the recipe.

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup poha
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 green chilli
  • 3-4 curry leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • Juice of 1/2 lime
  • Salt
  • Grated Coconut
  • 1 Tablespoon coriander leaves
To make Kaandha Poha:
  • Wash poha under running water and keep aside. Do not soak it.
  • Chop onions and green chilli to small pieces.
  • Chop curry leaves.
  • In a vessel, take 1 tablespoon oil. Add in curry leaves.
  • Fry onions till light pink in color. Do not brown them
  • Add in green chillies and give a quick stir.
  • Now add in salt and turmeric powder.
  • Add the poha and stir well till you get a bright yellow color.
  • Once done, garnish it with Juice of lemon, grated coconut and coriander leaves.
  • Serve it with hot Masala tea.


Do give it a try and share your views.

Note:
  • You can use peanuts to have a nutty flavor.
  • When you use peanuts, first roast it and at the end you can add it to the dish.
  • Also use asafoetida when you use peanuts. Add it along with curry leaves.

Kalladka Tea!

One of the famous tea back in my hometown, Mangalore. Kalladka tea is named after it's place Kalladka. More than the taste, this tea is an art in itself. It is famously also known as 3 layered tea.

In 1-2 minutes you will see a layer of froth appearing on top of the milk. Simultaneously, prepare tea decoction. Boil it to obtain dark color. Once decoction is ready, get hold of a spoon, place it gently just between the frothy layer and milk, and sl...
