there are several snacks recipes with indian cuisine which mainly differs from location to location and region to region. this recipe is specific to western india, particularly, maharashtra and northern karnataka. having said that, poha chivda recipe is common in gujarat too but is more sweet in taste.
there are so many recipes which I inherited from my mother, and poha chivda recipe is one of them. according to my hubby, I have exceeded in terms of taste and the way it is prepared, but he still prefers my moms poha chivda recipe. he further explains the reason for it too. according to him, I try to make traditional recipes more practical and instant by skipping or finding alternatives to complicated steps. in this scenario, the thin flattened rice is sun-dried for 30 minutes or 1 hour so it turns ultra crisp and flaky. but in this recipe I have followed a short-cut way. that is, I have dry roasted the thin poha to make it crisp and it hardly takes few mins. basically, it would save time, but would not match the crispiness with sunlight.
