Chhattisgarhi Poha

Flattened rice breakfast — thick poha (chiwda) soaked until soft then tossed in a mustard-seed and curry-leaf tempering with onion, green chilli, potato, and turmeric. The Chhattisgarhi version is made with the region's own locally grown flattened rice and is notably less sweet than the Indori poha, with more chilli heat and a mustard oil undercurrent. Eaten with thechwaa chutney.
