Step 1
Rinse 1 cup poha in a strainer under cold water until just softened, about 30 seconds. Drain well and set aside.
Step 2
Thinly slice the onion and carrot into matchsticks. Lay the lettuce leaves flat, divide the vegetables among them, roll up tightly, and slice each roll into 2-inch pieces.
Step 3
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium. Add 1 tsp mustard seeds and a few curry leaves if you have them; cook until they splutter, about 30 seconds.
Step 4
Add the rinsed poha, 0.5 tsp turmeric, and salt to taste. Stir gently over low heat until the poha is warm and evenly yellow, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 5
Serve the poha warm with the vegetable rolls and 0.25 cup green chutney on the side for dipping.
