Poha with sweet-hot twist

In Maharashtra, Poha is favorite dish for breakfast. Most of the dishes of poha I had were savoury (except may be Doodhpoha i.e. like cornflakes add milk and sugar to poha and eat). My mother used to add just a pinch of sugar to balance the flavours of the dish.
In Rourkela I discovered new kind of poha dish which is both sweet and hot. Its very simple to prepare. It required very few ingredients which are easily available at home. You'll need

1 1/2 cup poha
3-4 green chillies
1 small onion chopped
1tbls chopped ginger
3-4 tbls sugar
Salt to taste
1 tbs Cumin seed
3 tbls oil
1/3 cup chopped veg like green peas,beans,carrot

1. Start with washing poha properly. Drain all the water from it. Make sure that poha does not become too soft or the dish will look more like upma than poha
2. In a pan heat oil and then add cumin seeds. Once seeds start spluttering add chilly ,onion and ginger. Fry till onion becomes translucent.
3. Add vegetables and stir for some time. Add very little water and then cover the pan. In you are using beans or carrots then it will need 5-8 min for cooking. For fresh green peas 3-4 min is enough.
4. Once vegetables are cooked, add sugar,salt and mix well. You can adjust sugar according to your liking.
5. Add poha now, mix with veg well. Cover and cook for 3-4 min. You can sprinkle some water if required.
6. Once poha is cooked, take it off from heat. Add 1tsp desi ghee on poha and cover for 1/2 min. This gives nice taste to poha. Sprinkle some sev/namkin while serving if desire.
