To prepare, you will typically need to rinse the flattened rice gently to remove any dust and soften it. Then, follow the package instructions, which usually involve sautéing some aromatics like onions and mustard seeds in oil. The rinsed poha is then added to the pan along with the spice mix from the package. Stir well to combine, allowing the poha to absorb the flavors and cook through. Some variations might suggest adding a splash of water to help steam the poha and achieve a fluffy consistency. It's often finished with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lemon.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike plain flattened rice, this mix includes pre-portioned spices, saving you the step of measuring individual seasonings. This ensures a consistent flavor profile with every use, making it easier to achieve the traditional taste of Kanda Poha without needing extensive knowledge of Indian spices.
