hey guys today we're gonna make a
0:02
traditional dish on the north of India
0:04
called choorah Lou or boa this dish has
0:08
some crispy potato some sweet peas
0:10
delicious green onions and star of the
0:13
dish is the poha or the flattened rice
0:15
so let's get started right now so you're
0:18
gonna need some freshly chopped ginger
0:19
diced potatoes green onions which are
0:23
thinly sliced here I'm using some frozen
0:26
peas and for spices some cumin seed
0:30
black pepper king or asafoetida and some
0:33
salt and you're also gonna need some
0:35
poha flattened right not as you can see
0:39
it's like pretty hard right now 10 and
0:44
the way you prepare this is we soak this
0:48
in some water and be like wash it a
0:50
number of times and really quickly about
0:54
five to ten minutes within watching it
0:57
absorbs all that water and becomes all
0:59
puffy and really nice and I'm also gonna
1:02
use some fresh cilantro and some lime
1:05
juice for garnish so here I have my pan
1:07
heating on medium heat I suggest you use
1:09
a nonstick pan since we're dealing with
1:12
potatoes and potatoes don't really work
1:15
well with stainless steel so the my oil
1:17
is hot now and I'm gonna add in some
1:20
cumin seeds and let these crackle I'm
1:25
gonna cook this until they start to
1:28
change color and become darker with the
1:32
cumin C I'm gonna add in some heat just
1:35
a little touch of it so this is a really
1:39
strong spice if you learn more about the
1:41
spice if you check out my episodes on
1:43
let's make it spicy so as you can see
1:45
now within a few minutes our cumin seed
1:49
has become darker reddish brown almost
1:52
and now I want to add in my ginger and
2:04
mix it all up make sure it's all coated
2:07
with the oil I'm gonna put this on the
2:10
medium flame just nice and 50 now put
2:15
the lid on and then cook this for a few
2:17
minutes make sure to stir it from time
2:19
to time since you want all sites to be
2:22
I did some tumeric at this point can I
2:25
add it some nice color
2:29
now continue cooking with the lid on so
2:33
potatoes are nice and crispy now and at
2:35
this point I'm gonna add in my green
2:37
onions be generous with it
2:44
just hour until the onion starts to
2:47
break down add in your piece for the
3:01
prepare your flattened rice the syringe
3:03
this as your rinse rice and making sure
3:06
to drain each time it's gonna help make
3:10
sure all the excess starch and the
3:13
impurities are out and once you're done
3:15
that just season your poha with some
3:18
salt and let that press for these five
3:22
minutes and it's gonna get really puffy
3:24
so mixture looks beautiful
3:26
we need to season this self so let's
3:29
start by adding in some salt some fresh
3:33
pepper be generous with it and a
3:37
tablespoon of key it's gonna add a lot
3:40
of flavor you can skip this step in case
3:45

3:48
give it a nice mix now taste us what
3:53
season still need some salt and a bit of
3:58
pepper you can see her poha is nice and
4:01
fluffy now not just add it on to your
4:05
potatoes now if you don't want to cook
4:07
this too much we saw mix it up and make
4:10
sure it's warm fennel cooking this will
4:13
make it all mushy when somebody down to
4:17
low but a little bit more ghee but half
4:21
a tablespoon I kind of like when the
