Wash the poha nicely and drain the water. Cover it and keep aside. Chop the onions and tomato finely. In a pan add mustard seeds and add urad dal(if using). When the dal becomes golden brown add in the curry leaves and slit green chili. Add the chopped onions and saute for few minutes till they becomes translucent. Add in the chopped tomatoes ,salt and turmeric powder.
When the mixture turns mushy add garam masala if you want, and mix well. Keep the flame low. Add in the washed poha to this .
Mix well and if you feel it is dry just sprinkle 1 tblsp of water. As the tomato has moisture it does the job of making the poha moist, still if it dry you can sprinkle water.
If you want you can add chopped coriander leaves before serving. Always serve hot.
