Quick Bise Bele Bhat with Beaten Rice

I made this last night for dinner and my daughter loved it. This bhat is cooked with beaten rice (poha) and moong dal and has lot of vegetables.

Bise Bele Bhat

1 1/2 cups beaten rice (poha)
3/4 cup moong dal ( you can use split moong dal or mixture of split moong dal and moong dal with skin)
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1 onion
1 tomato
1 cup mixed vegetables (carrot, cauliflower, potato, capsicum)
curry leaves
1 tsp sambar powder/bise bele bhat powder
1/2 tsp tamarind paste
1/4 tsp turmeric powder
oil
1 tbsp ghee
salt
fried cashewnuts for garnishing (optional)

Pressure cook moong dal. Wash and soak poha in water for few mintues. Squeeze out excess water and keep aside. Heat oil in a pan, burst mustard seeds. Add curry leaves and onion and fry. When transparent, add tomato and fry for few seconds. Add potato and carrot and fry for 2 minutes. Add rest of the vegetables and just enough water for the vegetables to cook. Once all water has evaporated and vegetables are cooked, add sambar powder, turmeric powder and tamarind paste and fry for few minutes. Add moong dal, poha and salt. Mix well. Add ghee and stir once. Garnish with fried cashewnuts.
