Made from parboiled rice that is flattened and dried into flat, ivory-white flakes, it softens quickly with a brief rinse and cooks in minutes. The thick variety holds its shape and texture better than thin poha — ideal for breakfast dishes, snack mixes, and fasting recipes where a firmer bite is preferred.
