Masala Chirwa

Masala Chirwa is a savory Indian snack made from flattened rice (chirwa or poha) that is seasoned with a blend of spices and often mixed with ingredients like peanuts, roasted lentils, and sometimes vegetables. The flattened rice is lightly roasted or fried and then combined with spices such as cumin, turmeric, and chili powder, along with ingredients like onions, green chilies, and coriander. The result is a crunchy, spicy snack with a satisfying texture and vibrant flavor, commonly enjoyed as a quick snack or with tea.
