The spicy food doesn't mean the amount of chillies you have add in it. It simply means the type of spices that are used to preparea meal. India is known as the leading producer of spices in the world and it also exports lots of spices to other countries. So, how can you not expect spices in Indian food when india itself is leading producer of it.

Moving forward it's time to Chop Some onions green chillies and tomatoes. I have added only one again cause I was preparing poha 42 , but if you want to prepare poha for more than two people , you can add onions according to edge or according to your taste. According to me onions are the key ingredient in poha they provide the much needed taste and enhances the flavor to the food.

This is the onion chopped by me, One most important thing while preparing Poha you have to finally chop the onions Otherwise it won't look good and won't taste better.

Here are some pictures of me.Chopping the onion as well as tomatoes.

Now it's time to add some chopped tomatoes in it and also turmeric salt and green chillies. You can also add red chilli powder if you want but I personally don't like.

Now it's time to add poha in it. Mix it well and let it cook 7-8 minutes straight. You can cover it with lead , but you have to make sure that it does not get burn cause it's easy to burn if the flame is too high. After mixing it well and cooking it well for it 8 minutes , you're poha is finally ready to eat.

I have prepared poha for the very first time and honestly I have made numerous mistake And I would like to tell you cause I don't want you guys to repeat it.

  1. Don't soak it for more than 5 minutes or else.It will become more so soft and you won't enjoy it.

  2. You can add veggies according to your taste.But you have to add it after adding the onions and let it cook for another 3-4 minutes. I forgot to add veggies and I realised it later, but we can't add veggies later to it cause they will not get cook properly.

  3. I forgot to add lemon but without it it was also delicious, adding lemon is personal choice.

Accept these mistakes, it was perfect and it tastes heavenly. I loved preparing it and I also enjoyed eating it.

And finally this is how it looks, For someone who was preparing it for a very first time, i would say it was great.
