Mango oatmeal aval upma / Mango oatmeal poha

Ingredients :

Poha / Aval (thick that doesn't need soaking) - 1 cup
Oatmeal - 1/2 cup (optional)
Raw mango - 1 (chopped into small pieces. Reduce the qty if it is very sour)
Green chillies - 4
Roasted peanuts - handful
Salt to taste
Mustard seeds, urad daal and channa daal for seasoning
Hing - a pinch
turmeric powder - 1/4 spoon
Curry leaves and Cilantro (Optional)

Method :

Wash the aval / poha in water and keep it aside. Heat little oil in the pan and pop mustard seeds. Add hing, turmeric powder, urad daal, channa daal, green chillies, peanuts and curry leaves and fry till the daals are golden brown.  Add the chopped mango pieces and saute till they are cooked. Add water if required. Add the wet poha and the dry oatmeal. Add salt and sprinkle some water. Sprinkling water helps in cooking the oatmeal and prevents it from becoming mushy. Garnish with cilantro.
