Today i picked up an indian rice type snack from the supermarket called poha (i live in india btw) and you just need to add boiling water and leave it aside for just 3 minutes. How does this cook? Like ik the pressure and steam all help but is this already cooked halfway and if i eat raw what will happen etc. ?

the food is already cooked, but for purposes of preservation it has been dehydrated and sealed. This process stops most metabolic processes dead in their tracks because they rely on water as a medium where said processes happen.
what you do before consumption is just reversing the process(and you are NOT recommended to try to preserve the food again after this.).
