Poha Recipe Recipe โ เคชเฅเคนเคพ: 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 (เคเคฟเคกเคผเคตเคพ). On its own, flattened rice has very little taste, but when sautรฉed with peanuts, onion, and mustard seeds, it becomes flavorful and delicious. This is my own way of making poha. Try it; youโll love it!
