Special Poha

Special Poha

Ingredients For Special Poha:

Poha: 80 g
Sunflower oil: 2 tsp
Peanuts: 10 g
Mustard seeds: ½ tsp
Cumin seeds: ½ tsp
Asafoetida (hing): 1 pinch
Curry leaves: 3–4 pieces
Onion (finely chopped): 60 g
Green chilly (finely chopped): 1 piece
Carrot (finely chopped): 20 g
Capsicum (finely chopped): 20 g
Green peas: 20 g
Coriander (finely chopped): 1 tbsp
Lemon juice: 1 tsp
Salt: to taste

Instructions For Special Poha:

Soak the poha briefly (just until it softens). Drain any excess water. In a mixing bowl, add salt to the soaked poha and mix gently to combine.
Heat sunflower oil in a frying pan and roast the peanuts on low flame until lightly golden. Remove and keep aside.
In the same oil, add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Then add cumin seeds, a pinch of asafoetida, and a few curry leaves. Sauté for a few seconds.
Add the finely chopped onion and green chilly. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent. (Option: add a pinch of turmeric powder here and sauté once more.)
After about 2 minutes, add the chopped carrot, green peas, and capsicum. Sauté, then cover and cook on low–medium heat until the vegetables are tender—stirring occasionally so nothing sticks.
Add the soaked poha to the pan and gently mix so the veggies and spices combine evenly with the poha. Take care to keep the poha fluffy and not mushy.
Cover and simmer for about 4–5 minutes, or until the flavours are well absorbed and everything is heated through.
Turn off the heat. Add the roasted peanuts, chopped coriander leaves, and lemon juice. Mix gently to combine.
Serve the special poha immediately—optionally topped with some sev for extra crunch.

Tip: Adjust green chilli and salt to taste. You can add a pinch of sugar if you like a slightly sweet-sour balance.

Can I add more spices in the given recipe?

Yes, you can add more spices as well as some other ingredients which may improve the taste but keep in mind you need to fix macro as it is fixed in the recipe. Macronutrients must not be changed.

Can I increase or decrease the amount of oil given in the recipe?

Yes, you can change the amount of oil used in the recipe but you will have to manage it from the next or previous meal of the same day. The total amount of oil/fat prescribed for a day must not be increased or decreased i.e. you have to cook entire day food with a given amount of oil in a day. This is applicable to those who are following Dr. Pankaj Kumar's diet plan.

Is there a trial diet plan?

No, we do not have any trial diet plan. the reason behind this is all the diet plans are made after seeing blood test reports and after taking meticulous history including dietary history, so it is not possible to do all these just to try. people used to come here for results,s not to a try. you can see a sample diet plan how things are added to diet but this is just a dummy diet plan made especially for understanding purposes.
