Author Notes
Poha or chivda are the Indian names for flattened rice. These light and flaky things will most doubtless be fried and blended with nuts and spices to develop a crunchy mixture, ideal with milky shadowy tea or even beer. Nevertheless the next recipe is mostly eaten for breakfast, even supposing I like it as and after I feel savor. There are 2 sorts of poha on hand in Indian grocery stores: the skinny and the thick sorts. I feel the skinny one is finest for making the dry crispy snack mixture I discussed earlier. The thick one is more obedient to this day’s recipe since it obtained’t obtain restful when moistened. —anu
