Protein Pack Aloo Poha Bowls School Work Lunch Box
It can be hard to incorporate protein seamlessly into your daily diet. I thought of sharing ways to add more protein to dishes and meals you already love. Let's start with all time favorite and popular Aloo Poha (Potato and Beaten Rice).
Ingredients
| Thick poha | 2 Cup (32 tbs) (flattened rice, parched rice) | |
| Potato | 1 Large , cubed (aloo or batata) | |
| Onion | 1 Medium , chop | |
| Green chilli | 1 Small , finely chopped | |
| Curry leaves sprig | 1 (kadi patta, about 8 to 10 curry leaves) | |
| Mustard seeds | 1 Teaspoon (rai) | |
| Cumin seeds | 1 Teaspoon (jeera) | |
| Roasted peanuts | 1/2 Cup (8 tbs) (moongphali) | |
| Turmeric powder | 1/2 Teaspoon (haldi) | |
| Sugar | 1 Teaspoon (or more if you want it the poha to be more sweet) | |
| Grated fresh coconut | 3 Tablespoon (optional) | |
| Chopped coriander leaves | 2 Tablespoon (cilantro leaves) | |
| Lemon juice/Lemon wedges | 1 Teaspoon (or as required) | |
| Oil | 4 Tablespoon | |
| Salt | To Taste |
Directions

NOTES:
To add extra protein, add 1/2 cup of Boiled Chana (Chickpeas), or 1/2 cup Sprouted Mung Beans or 1/2 cup cooked Quinoa. All these are not just high in protein but fiber as well. If desired, season all these ingredients before adding to Aloo Poha Bowl. For instance, I would make masala chana to get flavorful bowl.
