The term "Chura" (flattened rice, also known as Poha) in Bihar is primarily associated with the Katarni and Malbhog varieties of rice. These varieties are known for their distinct aroma and taste, making them ideal for traditional Bihari dishes like Dahi Chura and Chura Bhunja. The aromatic Marcha rice also has a GI tag and is used for making chura/poha.
