What Makes Puffed Poha Chivda Special?
Puffed Poha Chivda (locally called phodnicha chivda or kurmura poha chivda) is a light and crispy snack made from puffed flattened rice. Unlike fried snacks, this one is roasted and tempered with aromatic spices, making it guilt-free yet irresistibly tasty.
Every handful bursts with flavor – the nuttiness of roasted peanuts, the mild sweetness of coconut, the gentle heat from green chilies, and the crunch of puffed poha. It’s not just a snack, it’s a tradition passed down in Maharashtrian households.

Puffed Poha – A Healthy & Crunchy Base for Chivda vs Flat Poha
If you’re looking for a light and guilt-free snack, puffed poha is the perfect choice. Unlike regular flat poha that turns chewy when roasted, puffed poha stays crispy, airy, and easy to digest, making it ideal for making delicious chivda and namkeen mixes.
From a health perspective, puffed poha is naturally low in calories, a good source of iron, and provides dietary fiber that supports digestion. It is also gluten-free, making it suitable for people with gluten sensitivity or those who prefer wholesome snacking options.
Because it is light yet filling, puffed poha is a wonderful base for healthy Indian snacks – giving you crunch, taste, and nutrition in every bite. Whether you enjoy it as an evening snack or pack it for travel, puffed poha chivda is the ultimate guilt-free munching option.
