| Poha Chivda is a savoury delight made of beaten rice and is a very popular snack in most Maharashtrian households. Prepared during Maharashtrian festivals, it counteracts the sweets offered during the same. I have fond memories of Poha Chivda from back in my school days. It used to be a lunchbox constant of one of my closest friends. She used to often bring along a pickle with it to spice things up. |
