Mrunal may not be cooking us poha anytime soon but this simple recipe from Piping Pot Curry will make sure you have your very own plate in front of you in less than 20 minutes. So let's get cooking.

Kanda poha

Ingredients: Poha - 2.5 cups, oil - 2tbsps, peanuts - 2tbsps, mustard seeds - 1/2tsp, jeera - 1/2tsp, curry leaves - 10 to 12, chopped green chillis - 2, chopped onions - 3/4 cup, diced potatoes - 3/4 cup, haldi - 1/4tsp, lime juice - 1tbsp, salt and sugar to taste, chopped coriander; (optional) For garnishing — sev, pomegranate seeds, freshly grated coconut

Method: Take your poha in a strainer and rinse till the water runs clear. Set it aside as you heat some oil and roast the peanuts. Once toasty, remove and fry up the mustard seeds and jeera followed by the curry leaves, chillis and onions. Then go in the potatoes which must be chopped small so that they are done cooking in 3 to 4 minutes. Once potatoes are cooked through add sugar, salt and haldi and toss. Cook this on low heat for 2 minutes after which top with the peanuts and your choice of garnishing. Finish with a dash of lime.

Do you like your poha sweet or spicy?
