Method:
1. Take the beaten rice or flattened rice first in strainer. Rinse it properly in clean running water in a strainer.

3. In the meantime, roast the peanuts in a small pan till they become crunchy and keep aside.
4. Also peel the potatoes and chop them into small cubes. Also chop the onion finely.
5. Take edible oil in the kadai or frying pan and heat. After heating, add the mustard seeds to the hot oil. When they splutter, add the chopped potatoes. Fry the potatoes in medium hot oil till light golden and crisp. After this add chopped onion, fry the onions till they become translucent and soften.
6. In next step, add the fennel, curry leaves, chopped green chili and roasted peanuts. Stir-fry them for a minute till brownish colour.
7. Add the poha in kadai mixture. Mix gently with the rest of the mixture.
8. Sauté the whole poha mixture for 2-3 minutes on a low flame, stirring gently in between. Now add the sugar and salt as per taste and mix properly again.
9. Switch off the flame and cover the pan tightly with a lid for the poha to get steamed for a few minutes (if needed).
10. Garnish the Poha with chopped coriander/cilantro leaves.
11. Serve kanda batata poha hot with chopped lemon pieces. The lemon juice has to be squeezed on to the poha before eating it. You can also sprinkle Sev or Namkeen on Poha for increasing taste.
