  • Add green chili, ginger and curry leaves to the pan and give a mix. Then add the onions and saute the onions till translucent

Cooking Aval Upma

  • Now, its time to add chopped veggies to the pan. Saute the veggies in high flame for a minute. Add ½ teaspoon of salt and sprinkle water. Cover and cook till the vegetables are tender and soft.
  • Once the vegetables are cooked, add the soft poha and give a good mix. Also adjust the salt. Toss thoroughly so that the poha is mixed well with vegetables
  • Finally add lemon juice and garnish with coriander leaves and grated coconut.
