Now since it is festival season, I had lot to prepare, so thought of making this quick microwave chivda to save time.


The outcome is really the same as you do with the traditional method plus you require less oil so it is healthier too.


So try out this quick microwave poha chiwda. I have prepared this out of thick beaten rice(Poha) but you can also use thin poha .
