Authentic Homemade Kanda Batata PohaVeg

1

Place the thick poha in a bowl and add enough water to submerge it completely. Rinse it thoroughly for 30 seconds, then drain the water. Let it sit for 2 minutes until it softens. You can check the texture by pressing it with your finger, then mix gently with a spoon to ensure there are no lumps.

2

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the peanuts and stir until they turn nice and brown. Once fried, remove them from the pan and set aside for later use.

3

In the same pan with the remaining oil, add the mustard seeds. When they start to splutter, add the curry leaves and chopped onions. Sauté until the onions turn light pink; be careful not to overcook them to maintain their flavor.

4

Add the green chillies, turmeric powder, and boiled diced potatoes. Add a little salt specifically for the potatoes and mix everything well, keeping the heat on low.

5

Add the fried peanuts, soaked poha, lemon juice, and chopped coriander leaves to the pan. Mix well, ensuring there are no visible lumps in the poha. Add a final pinch of salt to taste for the poha and mix again.

6

Turn off the heat, cover the pan with a lid, and let it sit for 2 minutes so the poha can absorb all the flavors.

Your Poha is now ready to enjoy!
