You have to arrange all the ingredients together before start cooking because the recipe is very quick. If you do not keep ingredients handy poha will burn while frying.
Now add the cooking oil to the frying pan and heat well. The oil should be medium temperature otherwise all ingredients will burn quickly. After heat well oil adds the peanuts or badam to it. Keep continuing stirring and fry for 30 seconds or till golden brown. After that keep aside the fried peanuts.
Now break 2 medium size papad in small pieces and then fry them also on high flame. After frying all papad pieces keep them aside too. We add peanuts/ badam and the papad at the end of the recipe.
Add the curry leaves to the same oil make sure the flame should on medium this time. It will take just 10-15 seconds to fry the curry leaves. Then quickly remove the leaves from the pan and keep aside for later use.

After frying the pohas very well remove quickly in a bowl to prevent over frying which will make the poha burnt.
If you do not want to make the snack too spicy so you skip the red chili powder or use less amount of the powder. Otherwise, it will be too spicy for children.
