Coriander Mint Poha is one of the simple and flavorful breakfast which can be whipped up in 15 mins. This poha is made using freshly ground masala. This flavor takes this recipe to the next level.
I have added garlic while grinding the masala. If you do not like garlic either skip it or replace it with the same amount of ginger. Do not skip the lemon juice. It gives a nice tangy taste to the dish. Use any branded thick variety poha for this recipe.
To make perfect aval wash poha thoroughly with water, drain the water completely and keep it aside for 5 mins to soak. Do not soak poha directly in the water itself. If you do so, it would become soggy. Nowadays different varieties of poha are available you can use any of them to prepare this recipe. Now let us see how to prepare this recipe.

- In a mixer jar, add all the ingredients under the "To grind" and add little cold water and grind it to a smooth paste. Masala paste should be thick. Do not add too much water. Just one or two tbsp of water will do. Masala paste is ready, set it aside.
