Cooking instructions

* Step 1

To make Kaanda Matar Pohe, first chop the onions into 3/4" long slices and slit the green chillies lengthwise or chop them into medium pieces.

* Step 2

Cube the potatoes and immerse them in clean water. Drain and set aside.

* Step 3

Soak the thick pohe in sufficient water for about a minute or two or till they turn slightly soft. Rinse immediately and squeeze out all water from the pohe in batches before they turn soggy and set aside.

* Step 4

Or, if using a thinner variety of pohe, place them in a sieve and just drizzle with little water. Shuffle slightly and set aside till further use.

* Step 5

Heat the oil for tempering in a kadhai and stir fry the raw peanuts in it. When done, set aside till further use.

* Step 6

Heat a pan for cooking the pohe and add oil to it. Add the mustard seeds and as soon as they splutter, add the asafoetida, green chillies and the curry leaves.

* Step 7

Stir and add the cubed potatoes. Cook till the potatoes are slightly browned.

* Step 8

At this stage, add the chopped onions. Add just a little salt and cook for 5-7 minutes. Add the turmeric powder and stir for a while.

* Step 9

Now add the green peas and mix well. Cover and cook stirring occasionally, till the potatoes and peas are fully cooked.

* Step 10

Add the sugar and give it a good stir. Add the pohe/flattened rice, salt to taste and mix.

* Step 11

Cover and cook on low heat for a minute or two. Uncover and give it a good mix. Check the seasoning and add salt or sugar, if required.

* Step 12

Garnish with chopped coriander and serve the delicious Kaanda Mataar Pohe topped with fresh grated coconut, chopped coriander leaves and some crunchy stir fried peanuts with a slight squeeze of lemon juice!
