Yet another amazing recipe from North Karnataka and Maharashtra region! The first time I ate it, I became a huge fan. Dadpe Pohe made by anyone, is so damn tasty. It remains one of my favourites till date. More over, it is very easy to prepare. Let me tell you the process.
If you are from the Karnataka - Maharashtra region, I need not tell you what Pohe means. It is rice flakes with a desi twist. Also known as 'avalakki' in Karnataka, it is available in a number of varieties - medium, thin, thick, paper thin etc. according to the region and preferances of people over there.
If you dont have poha / avalakki at home, buy about 1/2 kg of the thin variety from any grocery store nearby. It doesnt cost much. Just see that the flakes are not broken.
Prepare tadka with mustard seeds, some jeera and heeng. Add haldi to it. Chop an onion, a tomato, a cucumber and chilli. Add all these along with some peanuts to about 250gm of poha and mix well. Add little salt to taste. The flakes will become soft due to the wetness of the vegetables. Garnish with grated coconut or coirander.
It will serve two. I bet you will want more. So make enough not only to satisfy your stomach, but also the taste buds !!
