Steps
- 1
Place the poha in a strainer and rinse it thoroughly. Leave it in the strainer for 5–10 minutes so it softens evenly without forming lumps or sticking together.
- 2
Add salt, sugar, lemon juice, and turmeric to the soaked poha. Mix gently and set it aside while preparing the remaining ingredients.
- 3
Chop the onion and tomato. Chop the tomato only until finely chopped, avoiding over-processing it into a watery purée.
- 4
Prepare the egg bhurji according to the source’s egg-poha method. The transcript identifies egg bhurji as part of the dish but does not provide the egg quantity or the detailed bhurji cooking instructions.
- 5
Heat ghee in a pan and add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds to make the tempering.
- 6
Add the chopped onion and cook until it is lightly caramelized.
- 7
Add the curry leaves and green chilies, then stir them into the onion tempering until fragrant.
- 8
Add the chopped tomato, salt, turmeric, and garam masala. Cook until the tomato tempering is prepared.
- 9
Add the prepared poha to the pan and cook for 2 minutes, mixing it with the tempering.
- 10
Combine the cooked poha with the egg bhurji and serve as a breakfast dish.
Notes
The source does not provide exact ingredient quantities, the number of eggs, detailed egg-bhurji instructions, or a precise serving yield. It mentions cooking the poha for 2 minutes after adding it to the tempering.
