Kanda Poha

Kanda poha is very wholesome and tasty. You can make it any time of the day- as breakfast, dinner or a simple snack. The combination of the tomato, potato and onions with the poha is a perfect one. The lemon juice and tempering adds extra flavour to this Maharashtrian favourite recipe!

Onions are a very good source of vitamin C, chromium and dietary fiber. They are also a good source of manganese, molybdenum, vitamin B6, and folate, potassium, phosphorous and copper. Onions are very much valuable for people having high cholesterol levels or suffering from heart disorders.
