Poha or Chura Matar is an Indian dish. Each region in India have their own recipe.


Best poha I ever ate was at a friend’s house in Varanasi. I loved it so much that she would ask her cook to make it for me every time I visited her home. Best thing about this recipe was how balanced the lemon flavour was.


Before I left Benaras I asked her cook for the recipe and she gladly explained it to me. I modified it a bit according to the taste of my family keeping the real essence intact. Since then it has become our family favourite.


Along with peas, I also add other vegetables and roasted peanuts. It makes it even more savoury. Do try this recipe and let me know what you think about it?

Tips
  • Do not soak chura. Just wash it, drain water and set aside.
  • 📍Do not add too much onion or tomato. For 4 people I use roughly 1/3 cup chopped onions and 1/3 cup chopped tomatoes.
  • 📍Make sure onions and tomatoes are cooked properly. 
  • 📍You can also add curry leaves, green chillies or red chilli powder. I usually don’t make it hot 🥵
