Pomegranate and Fennel Seed Poha (Daram Anna Valiary Pawa)

This is the first recipe I've made using poha, or flattened rice. It is the Indian version of instant rice, cooking in about 5 minutes, but so much better!

Brown some onions in fried mustard seed and fennel seed, add some salt, turmeric, and frozen peas, followed by rinsed poha. Cook for 5 minutes, top with lemon juice, pomegranate seeds, and sev.

It made a lovely lunch, with a combination of sweet and savoury, soft and crunchy. It's a true 15 minute meal, especially if you already have some pomegranate seeds ready for use in the fridge.
