About Poha chiwda

Poha Chiwda is a popular Indian snack made from flattened rice (poha) and a mix of flavorful ingredients like peanuts, fried lentils, dried coconut, curry leaves, and light spices. Originating from Indian cuisine, this dish is often consumed as a light snack or tea-time accompaniment. Poha Chiwda is typically dry-roasted or lightly fried, making it a lower-fat alternative to many deep-fried snacks. It provides a good balance of complex carbohydrates from poha and healthy fats from peanuts and coconut, while curry leaves add antioxidants. However, the addition of fried elements and salt may contribute to higher sodium and fat levels, so portion control is essential for mindful consumption. Packed with flavor and texture, Poha Chiwda exemplifies the nutritious potential of Indian culinary traditions when prepared thoughtfully.
