Ingredients: 1 cup Brown Poha (flattened rice), rinsed and drained; 1.5 cups Sprouted Moong Dal, lightly steamed; 200g Low-fat Paneer, cut into small 1cm cubes; 3 tbsp Roasted Sattu (Ancient roasted gram flour); 1 tbsp Ghee; 1 tsp Mustard seeds; 10-12 Fresh curry leaves; 2 Green chilies, finely slit; 1 medium Onion, finely chopped; 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder; 1 tsp Roasted cumin powder; 1/2 tsp Amchur (Dry mango powder); 2 tbsp Roasted peanuts; 1 tbsp Lemon juice; 2 tbsp Fresh coriander, chopped; Salt to taste

The Preparation

Step 1

Place the brown poha in a colander, rinse under running water for 30 seconds, and set aside to soften. Do not soak in water.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, toss the paneer cubes with 2 tablespoons of Sattu, a pinch of turmeric, and a pinch of salt until evenly coated.

Step 3

Heat half a tablespoon of ghee in a non-stick pan. Add the coated paneer cubes and sauté on medium heat until the sattu crust turns golden brown and crisp. Remove and set aside.

Step 4

In the same pan, add the remaining ghee. Once hot, add mustard seeds and let them crackle. Add curry leaves, green chilies, and chopped onions.

Step 5

Sauté the onions until they turn translucent. Add the steamed sprouted moong dal, remaining turmeric, cumin powder, and amchur. Stir well for 2 minutes.
