Cooking Steps

Heat a thick-bottomed pan or wok on low heat. Add the thin poha and dry roast for 4-5 minutes, stirring continuously, until crisp. Be careful not to burn it.

Sprinkle salt over the roasted poha, mixing well to ensure even coating.

Let the salted chiwda (poha) cool completely before storing it in an airtight container.
