Protein-Packed Poha

The viral 'protein layering' makeover of everyday poha — soy granules, crumbled paneer, and peanuts folded in to triple the protein of the standard plate. High-carb with a solid 20g protein, it's built for muscle-gain mornings or pre-training fuel, not a low-carb day.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup thick poha (flattened rice)
• 2 tbsp soy granules, soaked
• 40g paneer, crumbled
• 2 tbsp roasted peanuts
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 8-10 curry leaves
• 1/4 tsp turmeric
• 1/2 lemon, juiced

Instructions

1. Rinse the poha in a colander and let it soften while you prep.
2. Temper curry leaves and onion in a little oil until translucent.
3. Add turmeric, soaked soy granules, and salt; sauté 2 minutes.
4. Fold in the poha and crumbled paneer and steam 2 minutes on low.
5. Finish with peanuts and a squeeze of lemon before serving.
