Chiwda is a popular Maharashtrian snack made of flattened rice spiced with masala. The secret to get this crunchy and crispy pohe is to keep the rice flakes in bright sunlight for 2 to 3 hours. Once this is done the flakes will not curl while dry roasting and they will make their perfect thin shape.
