    About This Recipe

    This savory snack is made with beaten rice called Poha. This is a very good option for evening snacks. This fried snack gets its taste from multiple spices and herbs used while making it.

    Most festivals, seems incomplete without some it which can be shared with friends and family. Along with this savory dish you could even serve your guests Papdi, Bhakarwadi or Namakpare as well.

    Serving Suggestions

    Serve this namkeen along with a cup of hot tea. You can also keep it on the table for munching through the day
