SAMAAN

AISE BANAO.

01Soak the white peas overnight. Pressure cook with salt and 2 cups water for 3 whistles.
02Heat 2 tbsp oil, add half the onion, tomato, chilli powder, garam masala and salt. Cook down, add the peas and 1 cup water and simmer 10 minutes into a loose usal.
03Rinse the poha briefly and toss with turmeric, sugar and salt.
04Heat 1 tbsp oil, crackle rai and sauf, add green chilli and remaining onion.
05Add the poha, cover and steam on low for 4 minutes. Add lemon juice.
06Plate the poha, ladle hot usal over it, then top with sev, coriander and Sunder Jeeravan.
RAMESHJI KA TIP“Chief Swaad Inspector approved. Sunder daalo, swaad badhao.”Keep the usal thin. It should run into the poha, not sit on top like a sabzi.

SAWAAL JAWAAB

Can I use canned peas?

Yes. Drained canned white peas or chickpeas work; skip the pressure cooking.

Is it served with jalebi?

Often. A hot jalebi on the side balances the heat of the usal.
