Cook's Hideout: Dahiwale Poha (Atukula Daddojanam/ Mosaravallaki)

Dahiwale Poha (Atukula Daddojanam/ Mosaravallaki)

Blogging Marathon# 29: Week 1/ Day 2
Theme: Cooking with Colors
Dish: Dahiwale Poha (Atukula daddojanam/ Mosaravallaki) --- White
After yesterday's colorful and slightly elaborate curry recipe, today I am making a simple dish that is White. Just 'white' dishes can be sometime boring -- think of just 'white' rice or 'white' milk (I h@%# white milk -- both the color and smell make me t^$*#^$ up). So jazzing up a plain white dish by adding colorful veggies or flavorings is a way to make it more eye appealing. (I jazz up my milk with a tiny bit of coffee granules.)
Dahiwale Poha (Atukula Daddojanam/ Mosaravallaki)
Today's dish has 2 white components -- Poha & Yogurt, but to give some color and add nutrition I've added some grated veggies. This is probably the easiest dish I've ever made.
This dish is like a quick 'daddojanam' or curd rice. When you crave for a comforting bowl of yogurt/ curd rice and don't have the patience to cook rice, then just use poha instead. The texture of poha after soaking in yogurt is very similar to that of very soft rice. I added grated carrot and cucumber for some color. Here's how I made the dish:
Dahiwale Poha (Atukula Daddojanam/ Mosaravallaki)
Ingredients:
Poha (flattened rice flakes) - 1cup (I used thick poha)
Yogurt - 1 cup (or more depending on desired consistency), whisked
Carrot - 1 small, peeled and grated
Cucumber - 1 small, peeled and grated
Green chilies - 2, finely chopped
Cilantro - 3tbsp, finely chopped
Salt - to taste

For tempering:
Mustard seeds - 1tsp
Ginger - 1tsp, finely chopped
Dry red chili - 1
Cashews - 6
Curry leaves - few
Asafoetida/ Hing - pinch
Dahiwale Poha (Atukula Daddojanam/ Mosaravallaki)
Method:
  • Rinse the poha and soak it in water for 3-4 minutes. Then drain it and add to a bowl. Add the yogurt and mix well.
  • Next add all the other ingredients (except for the tempering ingredients) and mix well.
  • In a medium size saute pan, heat 2tsp ghee and add the tempering ingredients. Once the seeds start to splutter, add the poha-yogurt mixture and heat it through for 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and let cool completely before serving. 

Suma has a similar dish on her blog and here's her recipe
This was my lunch today with some rajma chawal (red kidney beans & rice) -- filling meal.

  2. I like the idea of substituting poha for rice, but don't agree with white being boring In fact, the only way I like milk is plain - no sugar, no additives.
