Meena, it is good that you aren't Maharashtrian... otherwise, you'd probably be making your special onion-rice delicacy when rishtey would come for you!😆
Waise we also make 'Onion seasoned rice' which is different to 'Kanda poha'...and is called as 'Phodnee bhaat;'😆 [before meena asks, phodnee means tadka]
Poha is a food
derived from rice.
Flattened rice (also called beaten rice) is a dehusked rice which is flattened into flat light dry flakes. These flakes of rice swell when added to liquid, whether hot or cold, as they absorb water, milk or any other liquids. The thicknesses of these flakes vary between almost translucently thin (the more expensive varieties) to nearly four times thicker than a normal rice grain.
