Poha Chivda

This sweet and savory Indian snack has a big crunch factor.

Chivda, a delightful mixture of flattened rice, roasted lentils, peanuts, cashews, chillies, curry leaves, dried coconut, and other delectable ingredients, offers a symphony of flavors with every crunchy bite. Its irresistible taste is guaranteed to leave you wanting more, defying the possibility of stopping at just one bite.

This iconic Indian snack has earned its place as a beloved addition to school tiffins across the country, especially the couple weeks before Diwali vacation. A delicious and satisfying treat, chivda is also relished on Diwali evenings. Paired with chai and laddoos, it is a cherished part of the festivities, enhancing the joyous atmosphere as families gather to share laughter and stories.

Treats made on Diwali usually have a long shelf life as they are intended for sharing with neighbors and guests who drop by to celebrate the festival. While many of these snacks are enjoyed year-round, Diwali is an occasion to make all of these delicacies in substantial quantities, ensuring an abundant feast ready to be shared.

Ingredients:
  • 2 cups thin flattened rice (poha)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1/2 cup neutral oil, such as peanut or canola
  • 1/2 cup raw peanuts
  • 1/4 cup raw cashews
  • 1/4 cup daliya dal, or chana dalia (split chickpeas)
  • 1/4 cup dried coconut slices or flakes
  • 4 Indian or Thai green chillies, or 1 small serrano pepper, finely chopped (or to taste)
  • 15 to 20 fresh curry leaves
  • 1 teaspoon raw sesame seeds
  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds, preferably white
  • 2 pinches asafoetida, optional
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons confectioners’ sugar
