To make perfect poha khichiya, follow the tips below:-

• Suggest you always use the thick flatten rice and not the thin. The poha used to make chivda. You can use the other thin flatten rice too, but personally, I found the end result is best with thick flatten rice.
•  Wash the flattened rice or poha under the tap running water until all the dirt and other particles are removed. This step is very crucial in this recipe. Please do not skip.
• Rest the flattened rice for at least 30 minutes to one hour.
• The flattened rice should be very soft and without any moisture content.
•  Knead the dough without any water.
•  Dry them under the fan for 2 to 3 days, or dry them in the sunlight.
