3. Just add a tsp of oil to this mixture. Keep aside.

4. Now, in a pan add the remaining oil.

5. Add mustard, wait till it pops. Now, add urad dhal and red chillies. Fry well.

6. When Urad dhal turns golden brown, add the onion and curry leaf.

In my school days, my mom used to prepare one simple sweet poha dish with coconut and sugar for evenings. That would also taste great. This Veggie Poha is very healthy one and I love it for the great taste. Hope you would also enjoy the taste.
