Default Seasame-Poha - ellu aval, an interesting variation, quick to make .

On a busy day, this can be prepared very fast, if you have ellu podi ( til seed powder)

Medium thick poha ( aval ) - 1 cup

Ellu Podi - 2 tbsp

Water - 1 cup ( approximately )

Salt - very little if necessary since ellu podi has salt

To temper:

Ghee + oil - 2 tbsp

Cashewnuts - few

Curry leaves - few

Powder poha coarsely to rava consistency.

Add water & ellu podi & mix well.

It will become soft ( shoud not become mushy ).

Heat oil-ghee mixture.

Roast cashewnuts to golden colour & add curry leaves.

Add soaked mixture, lightly sauté & remove.

If you have not added coconut for the podi, 2 tbsp freshly grated coconut may be added.
