Aval Upma/Poha Upma with Peas/Aval Upma Recipes/Aval Upma Recipe with step by step photos

Most of the days, I just don’t plan much about what is to be cooked for breakfast or to pack for lunch. It is always in the last minute I decide to make something and get things done with. Today was one among them, I was really tired, so woke up late, had to pack lunch and send the kids to school. I ended up making Aval/Poha upma in a jiffy and everything was done on time. To my surprise I could get some clicks, I could read my husband’s thoughts “what on earth is she doing…”. But it’s ok, jobs done, wait not just done but well done. This is mom's loving upma. Meanwhile do check out other interesting and healthy Breakfast Recipes here.

Method

You can use either thick or thin aval(poha). If you are using thick poha rinse and soak it in water for about 10 min. If think poha is used than rinse and soak only for 3-5 min.

Squeeze out the excess water  from the aval/poha and keep it aside.

In a kadai heat oil, add mustard seeds after it splutters add cumin seeds, urad dal, channa dal,curry leaves and sauté until golden brown. Add the peanuts, asafoetida and sauté for about a min.

Now add the onions, green chillies, ginger and sauté until golden brown. Add the green peas, turmeric powder and mix well, cover and cook for about 3-5 min.

Add the rval/poha, salt and mix well but gently for about a min and switch off the stove.

Mix the lemon juice to the poha, garnish it with cilantro and serve hot.

Suggestion:

You can finally add some grated coconut for added taste.

Boiled potatoes can also be added to aval upma.
