Serves 4
Maharashtrians would feel lost without poha! Beaten rice flakes tossed with the traditional tempering of mustard seeds, chilies and curry leaves. Kanda poha is served aesthetically with wedges of lemon. This is very easy and quick to make. While it tastes best when you have it hot and fresh, it can also be carried in the snack box.
