This Poha/Flat rice, can be very well called PPP..........you know what it is?? Protein packed Poha. This Poha has bell peppers, roasted peanuts and black eyed chick peas. What more you need? It is a wholesome, complete meal by itself.
Red bell peppers contain more than 200% of your daily Vitamin C intake.They support healthy night vision, great source of Vitamin B 6 and Folate, packed with anti oxidants, and they are low in calories.
Green bell peppers are full of fiber, low in calories and full of Vitamins and Minerals.
These two wonder veggies are combined with the high protein Peanuts and Black eyed chick peas.
This dish is a must in every home.

Put the measured poha and turmeric powder in a pan, cover it with hot water, just enough to immerse it. If you pour too much, poha will become soggy.

Peanuts roasted with just a drop of oil in microwave, at the intervals of 30 seconds till they are roasted fully.


Black eyed chickpeas, soaked in hot water, pressure cooked and kept ready.


Non stick pan heated up, oil added, and all the above mentioned seasonings added.


Now add the chopped onions and curry leaves


Add the chopped bell peppers, when the onions become translucent. Sambar powder has to be added at this step. I forgot to take a picture of it.


Saute the bell peppers well, then add the poha, roasted peanuts, cooked black eyed chickpeas and salt to taste


Mix well, then add lemon juice.


Look at the superb, colorful Poha!!!

  2. Entertaining friends and family at home can be a daunting task, especially if you cater to a large group. I truly believe that social gatherings will only be successful if appetizers are available at the start of the party. Guests will feel at easy to mingle with each other while nibbling. Need some quick and easy ideas? How about chips and a vegetable tray. Platters of fresh vegetables will surely impress your guests, especially those who watch their diet. You can browse through the internet for some cooking tips on how to make popular dips to accompany a vegetable tray or ask your guests for their favorite dips and sauces... carote
