Poha is par-boiled and flattened rice that can be revived by just soaking in water. It is typically eaten in the coastal regions both in the west and the east. In Maharashtra, it is a snack time delight, the most popular city version being Kande Pohe, or Onion Poha. However, the non-Onion poha tastes very delicious and the key flavours here are the cumin, curry leaves and peanuts in the poha and the garnish of fresh cilantro and lime juice. The best part about poha is just how quick and easy it is to make, and how universally loved the dish is.
