Poha chiwda is a deliciously crunchy snack, which stars the breakfast favourite — beaten or flattened rice. In this recipe, Chef Varun works with Godrej Rice Bran Oil, which has a neutral flavour that makes it ideal for frying sweet or savoury dishes, and it also contains a natural antioxidant called orizynol.

Lightly toasted poha, tempered chana dal, peanuts, dried coconut, garlic, dried fruits and a fragrant flavoured oil provide a melange of flavours and textures for the perfect chiwda.
