How to Make Kaandha Poha Maharashtrian Potato Onion Beaten Rice

Rinse the poha under cold water and soak in enough water to cover for 5 minutes. Drain thoroughly and gently squeeze out excess water, working in small batches.
Heat oil in a skillet or pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them sputter.
Add urad dal and saute until lightly browned. Stir in turmeric powder and green chilies.
Add the chopped onions and diced potatoes. Saute for 5-7 minutes, until the potatoes are slightly softened.
Add salt and 2 tablespoons of water. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, allowing the potatoes to cook through.
Uncover the pan and gently add the drained poha. Sauté for another 5 minutes, stirring carefully to prevent sticking.
Remove from heat and stir in lime juice. Garnish with chopped coriander leaves.
Serve hot as a delicious breakfast or light meal. Enjoy!
