Kanda Pohe

Pohe or pohay is made from flattened rice, and is most likely served with tea, and is probably the most popular dish in maharashtra. I was looking out for some information on kanda pohay and i actually came to know that whenever there is an arranged marriage, this is the most likely dish served when the two families meet and it is so common that sometimes arranged marriage itself is referred to as kanda pohay.
There are different varieties in market where you get kanda pohay and plain pohay and ,,batata pohe but i like to combine lots of kanda, batata and peanuts in my version of pohay and of course it has to be spicyyyyyyyy. So go ahead and enjoy this delicious breakfast
