October 21, 2022 12:14 IST

Divya Nair's crispy and light Poha Chivda is a Diwali special. It's also great for everyday tea-time munching.

You may add cashews, raisins and red chilly powder too, or anything else you like, to have your own distinct mixture.

Poha Chivda

Servings: 3-4 cups

Ingredients

Method

Editor's Note: Instead of peanuts, you may use raisins, cashews or your favourite roasted lentils to get a richer or different flavour. Or additional spices like sambar powder or hing (asafoetida).

The poha-peanuts ratio is as per taste. A 3:2 poha-nuts ratio is customary.
