Potato Poha-Kanda Batata Poha – Potato Aval

Back then when I start my career I used to have Maharashtrian  colleague. Poha is one of regular lunch box item. I love Poha also. She used to bring potato poha quite often I learned the recipe from her mother. It is so easy and healthy. My mum used to make poha / Aval more for after school snack than meal by itself. But after my marriage  I do this for main meal. It has all my favourite ingredients Lemon, Poha / Aval. Peanut.. Yummy!

Method:

Wash and soak the Aval till it is soft. Drain the water and keep it aside

Add peanuts, diced potato and sugar(if using). Mix well. Let it cook for another couple of mins. Add coriander leaves, Pidina and lemon juice. Mix well. And switch it off.
