Step 1
Rinse the 1 cup poha in a colander under cold water until just softened, about 30 seconds. Drain well and set aside.
Step 2
Heat the 2 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the 1 sliced onion and cook until soft and golden, about 5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the 0.5 tsp turmeric and 0.5 tsp salt. Stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 4
Add the drained poha and toss gently with the onion mixture until evenly coated and heated through, about 3 minutes. The poha should be tender but not mushy.
Step 5
Remove from heat and sprinkle with the 1 tbsp lemon juice. Toss once and serve warm.
