Although this chivda is made during Diwali, it can be made anytime during the year. It can be enjoyed with a cup of tea.

Now this poha chivda is available in market but I prefer to make it at home as I am not aware of the quality of oil used. Mostly, the readymade chivda is made in palm oil and hence its a big NO. In addition to this, homemade ones are more hygienic.

The best part of this chivda is that it is not deep-fried. 🙂

This chivda has a very long shelf life and so you can made it in bulk. So it means, you can grab it anytime and enjoy it. When I make this chivda, my husband simply can’t keep his hands away from the jar.

It can be packed in a tiffin for kids/adults as a mid-meal snack.

Tips

1.Make sure you use thin poha and not thick poha. The thin poha brings a crunchiness to the chivda after roasting unlike thick poha.

2.You can add dry coconut slices to the chivda along-with peanuts.

3.When you dry roast the thin poha, you can taste the roasted poha and check if it is roasted properly. It should not be chewy or it should not stick in teeth. If so, then roast them for some more minutes.
