- Start by taking 1 cup of rolled oats (you can also use instant oats) in a sieve and rinse them with water until they soften. Set aside.

- Next, add 1 small finely chopped potato, 2 chopped green chilies, and ¼ teaspoon of finely chopped ginger. Toss in a few curry leaves and 1 tablespoon of peanuts. Stir everything well and let the potatoes fry until they’re about 50% cooked.
- Now, add the remaining vegetables—2 tablespoons of fresh green peas, finely chopped carrot, French beans, and 1 small chopped tomato. Throw in 4 broken cashews for extra crunch.
- Add ¼ teaspoon of turmeric powder, ¼ teaspoon of red chili powder, and mix well. Cover the pan and let the vegetables cook on low heat for about 4-5 minutes.
- Once the veggies are tender, add salt to taste, along with a tablespoon of chopped coriander leaves. Mix everything well.
- Now, add the softened oats to the pan and gently mix them with the veggies. If it seems too dry, sprinkle a little water and let it cook for 2-3 more minutes.
- Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the poha and mix again.
