Add ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon turmeric, and 1 teaspoon sugar.

Let the poha relax for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it softens without becoming sticky or delicate.

Heat two tablespoons of oil in a large kadai and roast two tablespoons of peanuts over low heat.

Add a sprinkle of hing, a few curry leaves, one teaspoon of mustard, and one teaspoon of cumin to the same oil. Make a splash with the tempering.

Now add one onion, one inch of ginger, and two chillies. Saute the onions. Add a little of salt and turmeric as well. Saute a little. Add the soaked poha and mix well.

For three minutes, or until the poha is cooked through, cover and simmer.

Add the fried peanuts, half a lemon, and two tablespoons of coriander. Blend well.

Eventually, use the mixture to make kanda poha for breakfast in the morning.
