Notes
Notes:
- If using potato cook it first before adding onions.
- In case you plan to use peas add after the tomatoes.
How to serve:
- Transfer to a plate and garnish with the coconut and some coriander leaves.
- You can add some sev on top I do not.
- Serve hot with tea I love it with Adrak Chai.
How to store:
- Though Kande pohe tastes best warm you can pack it off in your kid's tiffin box as a snack.
- Store the cooked poha in a closed container in the fridge for 1-2 days. Beyond that, I do not like the flavours.
