Chivda

Ingredients

4

1 kg Patal poha

1 tablespoon Salt

1 cup Dry coconut flakes

1 cup Peanuts

three quarters cup Cashews

three quarters cup Roasted chana dal

half cup Curry leaves

15 pieces Green Chilies

2 tbsp Powdered sugar

1 tablespoon Turmeric mixed with 2 tbsp hot oil

Tips

Ensure the poha is roasted on a low flame to prevent it from burning.

You can adjust the level of green chilies according to your spice preference.

Store the chivda in an airtight container to maintain its crispiness for longer.

Use a thick-bottomed kadhai for roasting to ensure even heat distribution.

Directions

Heat a large kadhai (wok) and add the thin poha along with salt. Roast on a low flame, stirring occasionally, until the poha becomes crispy. Set it aside in a large mixing bowl.

In the same kadhai, heat oil and deep-fry the coconut flakes until golden brown. Remove and drain on a paper towel.

Deep-fry the peanuts, cashews, and roasted chana dal separately until crispy. Set aside.

Fry the curry leaves until they turn crisp.

Fry the chopped green chilies until lightly browned.

To the roasted poha, add the fried coconut flakes, peanuts, cashews, roasted chana dal, curry leaves, and green chilies.

Sprinkle the ground Chivda Masala over the poha mixture, ensuring everything is coated evenly.

Mix the turmeric with 2 tbsp of hot oil and pour it over the mixture. Add 1-2 tbsp powdered sugar for a balanced flavor and mix everything thoroughly.

Let the chivda cool completely before storing it in an airtight container. It stays fresh for up to a month.

Notes

Individuals with nut allergies should avoid adding peanuts or cashews.

Those who need to limit sodium intake due to high blood pressure should reduce the salt content.
