Preparation Steps for Poha

1. Rinse the Poha: Place the flattened rice (poha) in a sieve and rinse it under cold water. Gently shake to remove excess water and let it sit for a few minutes to soften.

5. Add Green Chilies: Stir in 1-2 slit green chilies and sauté for a minute.

6. Mix in Spices: Add 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder and salt to taste. Stir well.

7. Add Poha: Gently add the rinsed poha to the pan, mixing carefully to combine with the onion mixture.

8. Cook: Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even heating.

9. Add Potato (Optional): If using, stir in 1/2 cup of chopped potato and cook for an additional 3 minutes.
