Aval/Poha Upma 

(Indian Pounded Rice Pilaf)

This is a dish from Maharashtra, India, made with aval/poha (Indian pounded rice), mustard and cumin seeds, frozen peas & carrots, potatoes, turmeric, and salt and seasonings. The recipe is from Julie Sahni's Classic Indian Vegetarian and Grain Cooking. It's good for a nice light meal, with yogurt. Instead of adding lemon juice to the complete finished dish, I like to squeeze some fresh lemon juice on the portion I'm about to eat. The 1st pic is the veggies before the grain was added in. Yummy!
