Kanda Poha

Ingredients

Poha/ flattened rice (thick variety) - 1 cup
Onion - 1 large
Green chilli - 3
Potato - 1
Turmeric - 1/8 tsp
Sugar - 1/2 tsp
Lemon juice - 1 tsp
Coriander leaves, chopped - 1 tblsp
Salt - As needed

To temper
Oil - 2 tblsp
Mustard - 3/4 tsp
Asafoetida - 1 generous pinch
Curry leaves - 1 sprig

Method
Wash poha thoroughly 2-3 times. Drain water and mix turmeric, salt and keep aside for 10 mins.

Mean while you can cube the potatoes and cook them. I microwaved it to cook. You can choose your own option. If microwaving, cook covered without adding any water for a minute or two in high.

Heat a pan with oil and splutter mustard, add asafoetida and curry leaves. Add onion, green chilles and fry till just transparent. Add sugar and give it a stir.

Add boiled potato and fry for a minute. Add poha and mix well.

Pat it gently to pack it and cook covered in low flame for 4 minutes. Laslty add coriander leaves and lemon juice. Mix well.

Notes
I always add turmeric to poha, for even colouring.This is the way my mom always follows for lemon and tamarind poha too. You can add it while frying onion too.
Do not over-fry the onions, it should be crunchy.
