Directions

1. Place the poha into a fine mesh sieve and rinse with warm water shaking and agitating to ensure all grains are hydrated. Rinse the poha until it is just tender, but not mushy. 
2. Quickly rinse poha with cold water and shake to remove any excess moisture and set aside. 
3. Warm a small pan over high heat and add the vermicelli to the pan stirring constantly until golden brown and crispy. Once browned, remove from the pan and hold for later use. 
4. Place a large stock pot or skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan is heated, add the oil. 
5. Once the oil is pre-heated, add the mustard seed and fennel seed and fry for about 10 seconds. 
6. Add the peanuts and chilis and fry for another 30 seconds. Once the peanuts and chilis are fragrant, add the curry leaves, onion, garlic, and ginger and cook, stirring regularly until the onions are tender and translucent. 
7. Add the poha, salt, turmeric, garam masala, lemon juice, and sugar. Cook, stirring regularly until completely warmed through and poha is evenly coated in seasoning. 
8. Top the mixture with cilantro, tropical fruit and roasted vermicelli. 
9. To Serve: 
   1. Scoop 1/2 cup of the poha mixture into a bowl and serve warm.
