Ingredients
For the Poha
- 3 cup Flattened Rice poha, lightly thick
For the Tempering
- 2 tbsp Oil vegetable or refined oil
- 1/2 cup Peanuts
- 20 leaves Curry Leaves fresh
- 2 Chilies broken into small pieces, green
- 1 tsp Salt or to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Poha
- Microwave the poha on high for 1 minute, stir gently with a fork, then microwave for another minute. Set aside.
Make the Tempering
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add curry leaves and green chilies; sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add Peanuts
- Add peanuts and fry for 2-3 minutes, or until they turn light golden brown and are fragrant. Do not burn.
Combine and Serve
- Add the peanut tempering to the microwaved poha. Mix gently to combine. Let cool slightly before serving. The chivda will crisp up further as it cools.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Chivda
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of asafoetida (hing) along with the curry leaves.
- If you prefer a spicier chivda, increase the amount of green chilies or add a pinch of red chili powder.
- Adjust the amount of salt to your liking. Taste and season accordingly.
- Store leftover chivda in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. It will maintain its crispness best in a dry place.
