Add 1 cup poha in a bowl, add water and soak for 2 minutes. After soaking, drain out the excess water.
Let the drained poha rest for 5 minutes and keep it aside.

Take a kadhai and add 2 tsp mustard/olive oil to it.

Add 1 tbsp raw peanuts to the kadhai and roast them on low to medium flame.

Once the peanuts turn golden brown, shift them in a separate bowl and keep them aside.

Now, add 1/4 tsp of mustard seeds to the kadhai with the same oil and let them crackle for a few seconds.

Then add 1/4 tsp cumin seeds, 1 chopped onion, 1 cup chopped veggies of your choice, 1 finely chopped green chillies, and 5 curry leaves to the kadhai and saute for 1 to 2 minutes.

Add 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder and saute again for a few seconds.

Add the drained poha and salt as per taste to the kadhai.

Mix and combine everything well; cover and cook on low to medium flame for 2-3 minutes.
Once cooked, switch off the flame.

Add a few chopped coriander leaves, roasted peanuts and squeeze 1/2 lemon into it.
Mix well and serve Poha warm. Enjoy!
