4. Add spices: When the onions become soft, add turmeric powder and mix it well. After this, add soaked poha and add salt and mix it gently. Cook on low flame for 2-3 minutes so that the poha gets mixed well with the spices.
5. Add lemon and peanuts: When the poha is cooked well, add roasted peanuts and lemon juice to it. Now mix it slowly so that the sourness of lemon reaches every particle.
6. Garnish and serve: Garnish the prepared poha with green coriander and serve hot. If you want, you can also add namkeen or sev with it, this enhances its taste.
