3. Combine the Ingredients: Add turmeric powder and salt to the veggie mix. Stir well. Add the softened poha and soaked oats. Gently mix everything, ensuring the spices and vegetables are evenly distributed.

4. Finish and Serve: Cover and cook for 2-3 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to blend. Turn off the heat and drizzle lemon juice over the mixture. Garnish with coriander leaves.
