Marwadi Poha Recipe: How to Quickly Prepare Spicy Marwari Breakfast

Although you may have tried various types of poha, you might not have tried spicy Marwadi Poha. If so, here is a simple recipe for preparing it. This dish does not require much time and is perfect to serve with hot tea during a morning breakfast.

Poha is an excellent choice for a light, tasty, and quick breakfast. Usually, people prepare poha by adding onions, potatoes, and peanuts, but the Marwadi style differs because it includes green peas, potatoes, peanuts, and a special spice blend called 'Jeeravan,' which gives it a unique flavor. If you want to try something new and spicy for breakfast, you can easily make Marwadi Poha at home using this simple recipe.

To begin, thoroughly wash the poha in a large colander with clean water. It is important not to leave the poha in the water; let it sit in the colander for some time so that all the liquid drains and the poha swells well.

Next, heat half a teaspoon of oil in a pan and fry the peanuts until golden brown. Remove the fried peanuts and set them aside on a plate.

After that, add the remaining oil to the same pan and heat it. Then add cumin seeds and mustard seeds; when they start sizzling, stir in asafoetida, green chili, and curry leaves. Next, fry the finely chopped onion until pale pink. Then add tomatoes and cook for about two minutes until they become soft.

Add boiled potatoes, green peas, turmeric, red chili powder, salt, and sugar to the pan, mixing the ingredients thoroughly. If you do not like the slightly sweet taste in the poha, you can omit the sugar.

Then add the washed poha and the fried peanuts to the pan. All components must be gently mixed so that the poha is not damaged. Add the 'Jeeravan' powder and mix well. Cover the pan and cook over low heat for about one to two minutes.

Finally, mix lemon juice and finely chopped fresh herbs into the poha. Turn off the stove. Your delicious and spicy Marwadi Poha is ready. It is recommended to serve it hot with tea.
