Poha
The simplest yum breakfast that can be prepared in a jiffy. Its gluten free, an added bonus. Poha is usually made with onions, but I really dislike onion in it. This is my version, you will need
1 cup beaten rice flakes, washed and drained
1 tsp peanut/sesame or oil of your choice
1 tsp mustard seeds
2 sprigs curry leaves
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
salt to taste
1-2 green chillies finely chopped (more depending on your taste)
Coriander leaves and half lemon for garnish
Optional: 1 tsp peanuts/1 boiled potato chopped to small pieces/1/4 cup boiled green peas
1) Heat oil in a frying pan, add mustards and fry till it splutters.
2) Add the green chillies, curry leaves and option of your choice (peanuts,potato,green peas) and fry for a minute.
3) Add turmeric and salt, mix.
4) Add poha, (you could add a dash of sugar here) and mix well.
5) Heat through and add garnish and lemon juice.
There its ready..

Peanuts are rich in energy and contain health benefiting nutrients, minerals, antioxidants and vitamins that are essential for optimum health
Generally perceived as health benefiting spice, mustard seeds are indeed very rich in phyto-nutrients, minerals, vitamins and anti-oxidants.
Turmeric: used since antiquity for its anti-inflammatory (painkiller), carminative, anti-flatulent and anti-microbial properties
Lemon: citric acid phytochemicals, a good source of B-complex vitamins such as pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, and folates. These vitamins are essential in the sense that body requires them from external sources to replenish.
Coriander leaves: is rich in antioxidants, essential oils, vitamins, and dietary fiber, which help reduce LDL or "bad cholesterol" while increasing HDL or "good cholesterol" levels.
