Kande Pohe Recipe
About Kande Pohe Recipe
I have grown up eating pohe almost once a week as breakfast. Poha is a healthy Maharashtrian snack which is made from flattened rice sautéed with onions and potatoes. It is a very commonly served snack to guests. It is a quick and easy recipe to make and very delicious. It can be made by adding peas, groundnuts, potatoes, etc
There is a very funny story associated with poha. In Maharashtrians whenever a guy comes to see a girl for marriage proposal the ceremony is known as Kande PoheJ. Poha is accompanied with hot chai (tea).This snack is so famous that there is also a Marathi movie named after it. There is one famous song from Marathi movie “Sanai Choughade”
“Aayushya he chulivarlya kadhaitale Kande Pohe…………”
It means: Life is like kande pohe in kadai, which means tasty and colorful.
