Steps to make Poha - with an experimental secret:
Take 2 cups poha in a plate and spread them to the sides, leaving the center of the plate with a doughnut like structure
Pour water into the plate in the center so that we are not pouring water directly over the poha (the entire poha must be submerged in water)
Lightly swirl around with your hand to wash off the powder like layer off the poha
Keep it submerged for 2 minutes and then transfer them to a strainer
Whilst in the strainer add 1/2 tsp haldi and lightly mix the poha; set this aside (for about 10-15 minutes)
Start cutting the veggies after you have set this aside to save time
Heat oil in a wok / kadhai at almost full heat
Add hing followed by rai (mustard seeds)
Once the mustard seeds start to crackle reduce the heat to half and add cumin seeds
Wait 10 seconds and add the minced chillies
Fry for about 20-30 seconds
Add the ginger and then garlic with about a 15 second delay, if you are using the paste add it together at this point
Fry till the raw aroma of ginger and garlic disappears
Next, add the peanuts and fry them until they become light red; please be careful because it is very easy to burn the peanuts, approximately 1-2 minutes should do them just right
Next add the curry leaves and fry for about 20 seconds
Add the onions and fry until they turn pink
Add the potatoes and salt, and fry for about 2 minutes
Add turmeric powder and then cover and cook until potatoes are tender (keep stirring once in a minute at the least to ensure nothing sticks at the bottom)
When potatoes are tender reduce heat to the lowest setting as add the prepped poha
Once you add the poha be very careful as to not to press the dish from top down, else you will end up having rice cakes like texture.
Toss the dish from bottom up using a spoon or a spatula, very lightly until the spice mix we made blends in
Next add the shredded/desiccated coconut and continue mixing in same style for about 1 minute
Squeeze half a lemon and mix 4-5 times more
Turn off the heat and add sugar and chopped cilantro and mix for another 2 minutes
Cover for 1 minute before you serve
