Written by Jayashree

In South India, poha or beaten rice is extensively used in preparing snacks. Commonly called as Avalakki in Karnataka, Poha chiwda is a tasty ready to eat snack for evenings or along with a cup of tea. It is used during fasting and makes a good snack for a back pack.

Only a South Indian, can relate to the love of poha chiwda, or hurida avalakki as it commonly called. You will find it stored always in the kitchen shelves. It is relished along with tea  as a snack, one can heartily eat it as a breakfast, usually mixed with coconut and vegetables. It makes a quick snack to serve in the evening too.
