Note:-

1) You can make it without potato as well ie just with onion and is called Kandhe poha/Onion Poha.

2) You can add a chopped tomato and opt out potato as well for a tangy poha recipe(and I love tomato/tamatar Poha).

3) While seasoning add little asafoetida for a nice aroma, I didn't add it since I ran out of it.
