Chivda (Indian Snack Mix): 2 Vegan & Vegetarian Ways

This poha chivda recipe skips the deep fryer: thin rice flakes are dry-roasted until crisp, then tossed with spiced peanuts, cashews, coconut and curry leaves. Start with the base recipe, then try variations that change the flavor, protein or season.

Ways we vary it: base · base ingredient + texture (ready-to-eat cornflakes for a shatteringly crunchy, sweet-salty-spicy 15-minute Diwali mix, instead of slow-roasted thin poha with coconut) · base ingredient + texture (big, shattery sweet-salty cornflakes makai chivda with raisins and chaat masala, toasted in one pan in 15 minutes, instead of thin roasted poha flakes with coconut)
