Hathi Poha Thick - 14 oz

Poha thick refers to a variety of flattened rice that is thicker in texture compared to the more commonly available regular poha. Poha (also known as beaten rice) is rice that has been flattened into thin flakes, and thick poha is simply a thicker version of this, where the flakes are larger and more substantial.

Thick poha is commonly used in Indian cooking for dishes like poha, a popular breakfast or snack item. When prepared, thick poha retains more texture and firmness compared to the regular thin poha, making it slightly more chewy. It requires a longer soaking time or a slightly different cooking method to soften, and it can be used in a variety of recipes, from savory to sweet.

In savory preparations, thick poha is often sautéed with spices, vegetables, and sometimes peanuts or potatoes to create a comforting, filling dish. It’s especially popular in Western and Central India, where it’s seasoned with mustard seeds, turmeric, curry leaves, and other spices for a flavorful dish.
