This classic savory mix uses thick flattened rice (poha) as its base, which is fried or roasted to achieve a satisfying crunch. It is tempered with a fragrant tadka of mustard seeds, green chilies, turmeric, and plenty of curry leaves, giving it a bright yellow color. The addition of fried daliya (roasted gram) and peanuts makes it a nutritious and flavorful snack enjoyed across all age groups.
