Poha Patty (Flattened Rice Tikki)

Usually I use to make poha / flattened rice in a very normal way for breakfast, but this time I just thought If I can add little bit more ingredients and can do something else and create another dish. After thinking and adding little bit of leftovers I created this dish for my next day lunch. Here are ingredients I used and directions to make them. Hope you enjoy and share with your friends.

Chitra Pal Poha Patty (Flattened Rice Tikki) 

Directions:-
 1. In a non stick pan heat 1 tbsp of oil, when it turns hot add sarso or rai seeds.
 2. When they start spluttering add onion and green bell peppers lightly sauté it.
 3. Add curry leaves and chilies and salt, red chili powder, and turmeric.
4. Turn off the heat after sautéing it and let it cool down.
5. In a bowl, wash poha and keep it aside.
6. Now when all water is drained out, transfer it to another dry mixing bowl, add mashed chick peas. 7. Also add the onion mixture to it. Keep on mixing it, by mashing it with hands. If the mixture is still little wet add, little flour to it and mix it well.
8. Make round flat patties and keep them aside. Leave it in fridge or freezer for at least 30 minutes.
9. When they are all set and hard, add one tbsp of oil in a non stick pan, let it heat.
10. When oil is ready add the patties to shallow fry or grill till they turn light brown on both sides. You don’t have to fry them but just turn the color as light brown so use as less oil as you can. Don’t out more than 3 patties at once, it will be hard to flip.
11. Take them out in kitchen paper towel.
Serve in tray, garnish them with onion/ dhaniya leaves and fresh pomegranate seeds and topped over chutney.
