Ingredients

2

1 cup Poha

1 teaspoon Salt

1 teaspoon Sugar

1 teaspoon Lemon juice

quarter cup Peanuts

1 tablespoon Oil

1 teaspoon Mustard seeds

half cup Raw potatoes

10 pieces Curry leaves

2 pieces Green Chilies

half cup Onions

1 teaspoon Sugar

half teaspoon Turmeric powder

1 tablespoon Coriander leaves

Tips

Adding fresh coriander and grated coconut can enhance the flavor and texture.

Directions

Wash the poha gently. Add salt, sugar, and lemon juice. Mix lightly and let it rest for 5 minutes.

Dry roast the peanuts for 3-4 minutes until they are crunchy.

Heat oil in a wok. Add mustard seeds. Once they crackle, add the diced raw potatoes and sauté until they are half cooked.

To the potatoes, add curry leaves, chopped green chilies, onions, and sugar. Mix well and cook until the potatoes are tender and the onions are caramelized.

Add turmeric powder and sauté for a minute. Then, add the soaked poha, squeeze in some lemon juice, add roasted peanuts, and mix. Cook for 2-3 minutes. If the poha seems dry, sprinkle a little water and mix again.

Turn off the flame and cover the wok for 2 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves. For extra flavor, you can also top it with freshly grated coconut and sev.

Serve hot with a lemon wedge.

Notes

Kande Pohe can be a beneficial part of a balanced diet. It is light yet filling and provides a good source of energy.
