Watana Usaliche masala pohe

Cookery shows on television have become an integral part of TV programs. Once on Zee  marathi in 'Aamhi Saare Khavaiyye' this recipe using white peas was shown. It is a traditional recipe of Karnataka. I did that on the very next day and everybody at home liked it. [Normally I use white peas for making ragada for 'ragada pattice'. ] So I am sharing the new addition to my break-fast list.

Ingredients


1/2 cup Pandhra watana/White peas( wash and soak in 1 1/2 cups water)
1 medium onion( chopped)
2 green chilies(slit)
1/2 tsp turmeric powder
1/2 tsp garam masala
1-2 cups nylon poha( pataL poha)
1/2 cup nylon shev

Method

  • Cook soaked watana (with same water in which it is soaked) , half of the chopped onion, green chilies and turmeric powder in a pressure cooker.
  • Transfer the contents to a sauce pan, add garam masala and salt to taste. Add little water( to make it semi solid), if required and bring it to boil.
  • While serving spread 1/2 cup of poha in a plate, add a ladle of watana , add little chopped onion(raw)on the top, and nylon shev.
