Ingredients:
1 cup poha (Flattened rice)
2 green chillies, chopped
1 chopped onion (Medium size onion)
1/2 cup potato cut in small pieces

1tsp mustard seeds

Salt to taste
Chopped coriander leaves for garnishing
Method:
Wash the poha once, with water, drain water and keep the poha aside.
Heat oil in a pan. Add the mustard seeds to it. 
When the mustard seeds start crackling add potato. Cover the pan with a lid and cook on low heat till the potato is tender.
Remove the lid, put gas on medium heat. Add green chilies, ginger, curry leaves and onion. Fry for 2 to 3 mins or till the onions look dehydrated and the raw flavour of ginger is gone.
Alternatively, add salt, coconut, sugar, black pepper powder, and turmeric powder in the poha that was kept aside. Mix the ingredients with the poha.
Now transfer this poha to the pan. Mix well and cook for 3-4 mins on low heat.
Garnish with coriander.
Serve with tea or curd. 
Tips!!!
You can add peanuts, peas and tomato if you want.
