I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Kaandha Poha turned out mushy. I think I added too much water.

This dish is a must-try for anyone who loves Maharashtrian cuisine. The poha is cooked to perfection and the potatoes and onions add a nice crunch. I would recommend adding a bit of green chili for some extra spice.
