Steps

1We make Masala Pohe Recipe by soaking the thick pohe in a bowl with sufficient water for about half a minute and immediately drain and squeeze dry.
2In a mixing bowl, mix together all the above mentioned ingredients except the ones for tempering.
3Check seasoning and sweetness. Add more sugar if desired.
4In the meantime heat a piece of charcoal over direct flame till red ambers are visible. Remove from flame and place in a small bowl which should be kept in the centre of pohe. This is the smoking method and this imparts a unique smoky and earthy flavour to the pohe. Our a few drops of oil over it and shut the pohe with a lid tightly for a minute.
5This imparts a unique smoky flavour to the pohe.
6After the smoking is done, heat oil in a small kadai and add the mustard seeds. When they splutter, add the asafoetida and the turmeric powder.
7Switch off the heat and pour the tempering over the prepared masala pohe. Mix well. This step is optional. Adding it will just bring in more flavour to the poha.
8Serve Masala Pohe Recipe along with Adrak Chai Recipe (Indian Style Ginger Tea ) during tea time. You can garnish it with sev or chivdato make it more appetizing.
