Poha Recipe Recipe – पोहा: is a famous Maharashtrian breakfast dish. It is also known as pohaa, pauwa, sira, chira, or aval. Poha is made from flattened rice called chidwa (चिड़वा). On its own, flattened rice has very little taste, but when sautéed with peanuts, onion, and mustard seeds, it becomes flavorful and delicious. This is my own way of making poha. Try it; you’ll love it!
