Notes

1. A lot of people soak Poha but if you are using thin pohe (plural of Poha) then put it in colander/strainer under the running water so that it becomes moist but not mushy.
2. When poha is added to the seasoning and it apprears to be dry, sprinkle some water and give a stir. Cover the lid so that it becomes moist.

3. In the same recipe, if potatoes are mixed, it makes Batata (Potato in Marathi language) Kande Pohe. Here are two simple steps to make it –
Boil Potatoes in the pressure cooker with a 4-5 whistle or if boiling in an open pan let it boil till it is completely cooked but not mushy and let it cool down. peel them.
Cut the potatoes (also know as Batata in marathi) into cubes and add to the seasoning prepared before. Mix it gently without breaking the cubes so that it picks up the yellow colour from turmeric and mix pohe.
