Dahi Poha Tadka – A quick preparation, made of poha (flattened rice), curd and seasoning). It’s good for summer and stomach upset. Recipe from Goodhousekeeping magazine.

Serves: 2

Ingredients

1 cup brown or white poha

2 cups fresh curd, best well

½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Method

Soak poha in water for 5 minutes (if using thick poha , soak in water for 5 minutes. If it’s thin poha, just dip it in water for 30 seconds and immediately squeeze out water). Mix it with beaten curd and salt to taste.  Keep aside in a serving bowl.

For seasoning (tadka):

2 teaspoon oil

1 teaspoon mustard seeds

½ teaspoon jeera (cumin seeds)
