Methi Poha (vendhaiya keerai Aval)

I love methi in any form. So i tried to add methi to Poha and it turned out to be good, So here is the recipe.

Ingredients:
Methi - 2 bunches
Poha/Aval- 3- cups (thick Poha)
Onion- 1 big (chopped)
green chillies- 2 (slit)
corriander
mustard- 1 tsp
Uradh dhal - 1 spoon
Channa dhal - 1 spoon
chilli powder - 1 spoon
turmeric- 1 tsp
Oil , a small qty of ghee also (Ghee and methi goes well)
Salt to taste
Lemon juice- 1spoon.

Method: 
     Soak poha/Aval in water for 10 minutes (until they are semi soft), if its over soaked it will become mushy. So remove it from water promptly and keep it aside

    Remove only the leaves from the methi bunch,wash and chop it. Add oil and bit of ghee in pan and when heated add mustard , when it starts cracking add the dhals and when it browns add green chillies and onions , fry onions until they are brown, add turmeric and after a minute add the methi , salt, chilli powder(according to your spice level). fry the methi well until it is brown and well cooked. Add the poha/Aval and mix well . Add a spoon of lemon juice and coriander and mix well until the poha is mixed well with methi and is heated and we are done.
