“Delicious Crispy Poha” is a classic Maharashtrian crunchy and crispy treat/snacks mix; which is my personal  favourite and good  option for me as mid morning and evening snacks. I used to eat this recipe round the year as tea time snacks. You may give this munching snacks to your kids with glass of milk or fresh juices.
