A traditional Maharashtrian or North Karnataka spicy snack made with thin flattened rice and other spices. It is popularly consumed as an evening snack with a cup of tea, but can also be served as a combo with Upma or pohe recipe. It is simple yet easy to prepare, and easily last longs for a couple of weeks.
This Poha chivda | Poha Namkeen is sweet and spicy, basically an "Indianized" version of a trail mix. Learn how to make this healthier, guilt-free snack with few teaspoons of oil which is just as good at the traditionally prepared, deep-fried poha chivda.
Poha Chivda too is done in multiple ways and the main difference at times is the way the poha is cooked. Many like to fry it and use it in the mix. To make it healthier and to avoid all that oil, we simply roast it. Do not worry it will taste delicious and I bet you will definitely be craving for more. I love this Roasted Poha chivda so much. It comes in handy for your tea time snack and so easy to make and bursting with flavors. You can also add roasted Makhana or any dry fruits of your choice
