So come, let us know the very easy method of making Poha Nuggets:

What do we need? (Material)

• Poha: 1 cup (any, but medium or thick)
• Boiled Potatoes: 2 medium sized (well mashed)
• Finely chopped onion: 1/2 cup
• Finely chopped green chillies: 1-2 (as per taste)
• Grated carrot/cabbage (optional): 1/4 cup
• Green Coriander: 2 tbsp (finely chopped)
• Rice Flour: 2 tablespoons (or cornflour, for binding)
• cumin powder: 1/2 tsp
• chilli powder: 1/2 tsp (or as per taste)
• Turmeric Powder: 1/4 tsp
• Garam Masala: 1/4 tsp
• Dry mango powder (for sourness): 1/2 tsp (or chaat masala)
• Salt: as per taste
• Oil: To fry or shallow fry

Now let’s make tasty poha nuggets! (Method)

1. Prepare Poha: First of all, take the poha in a strainer and wash it thoroughly. Just pass it lightly with water so that it becomes soft. Keep it aside for 5-7 minutes, so that the poha swells properly and becomes soft.
2. Mix the ingredients: Mash the puffed poha lightly in a big vessel. Add mashed boiled potatoes, finely chopped onions, green chillies, grated vegetables (if adding), and chopped coriander.
3. Spices and Bindings: Now add rice flour (or cornflour), cumin powder, red chili powder, turmeric, garam masala, dry mango powder and salt as per taste to this mixture.
4. Mix well: Mix all the ingredients well with hands, like kneading dough. A soft but pliable mixture should be ready. If the mixture seems too wet, you can add a little more rice flour.
5. Make Nuggets: Now grease your hands by applying a little oil. Take a small portion of this mixture and shape it into nuggets in the shape of your choice (like small cylinder, tikki or round ball). Prepare all the nuggets in the same manner.
6. Fry or shallow fry:
   • For deep frying: Heat oil in a pan. The oil should be hot on medium flame. When the oil is hot, carefully drop 3-4 nuggets into the oil. Fry them by turning them until they become golden brown and crisp. Then take it out on absorbent paper so that the extra oil gets removed.
   • Shallow Fry or Air Fry (Healthy Option): If you want a healthy option, you can shallow fry these nuggets in less oil or cook them in an air fryer. In this also they become very crispy.

Serve hot crunchy poha nuggets with green chutney, sauce or tea. Honestly, these are a perfect snack with tea! This is a great recipe to make quick breakfast. Do try this easy Indian breakfast recipe once.
