Cook Kala Chana with peanuts

Heat oil in a pan and add curry leaves, cumin seeds, boiled kala chana, hing, salt and peanuts. Let them sizzle for a few minutes and roast until golden brown.

Saute vegetables with spices

In the same pan add chopped onion, green chillies, turmeric powder, and salt. Saute it for one minute.

Cook poha

Add the soaked in the pan and toast them with vegetables and spices. Cook it on a low flame for 5-7 minutes.

Garnish and serve

Once the poha is cooked, squeeze half a lemon and garnish with coriander leaves on top. Add the cooked kala chana and peanut for extra crunch.
