Sprout Poha Recipe

Sprout Poha is a nutritious yet flavorful recipe. All you need is the sprouted beans and a few vegetables. To prepare Healthy Sprout Poha, prepare the tempering of mustard seeds, green chili, curry leaves, and hing, add onions, and saute them for a while. Add vegetables and sprout, and cook for a couple of minutes. Add soaked poha, season it, and cook it for 5 – 10 min. Lastly, squeeze a lemon, add jaggery powder and chopped coriander, and Poha is ready to serve. You can add cashews, raisins, roasted peanuts and seeds, pomegranate, chopped onion, tomatoes, and raw mango, as a topping. You can also add grated carrot, beetroot, or fresh coconut.

The essential part while preparing Sprout Poha is soaking poha. I used to rinse them under running water in a strainer. Avoid soaking poha in water for a long time, otherwise, poha will absorb access water and turns sticky and mashy.

For the no onion, no garlic poha recipe, skip the onion from the recipe.
