Chiwada

When you crave something to have with with afternoon tea, but don't want to stuff yourself with calories in a tetrapack, chiwda to the rescue! The best part is that it can be whipped up in a jiffy- waiting for it to cool down takes longer than anything else.

2 cups poha (pressed rice)
1/3 cups peanuts
2 green chillis, sliced
1 tsp rai/ mustard seeds
1 sprig curry leaves
1 tbsp copra, sliced fine
1/2 tsp haldi powder
1/2 tsp red chilli powder
Salt and sugar to taste
1 tsp oil

Method:
Dry roast the chivda till it becomes absolutely crisp. Keep aside.
Heat oil, add mustard seeds, and wait till it stops spluttering.
Add peanuts, and fry till they start browning. Add sliced copra, green chillis, curry leaves and the haldi and red chill powder.
Saute for 1-2 minutes, than add the roasted chivda.
Mix well. Turn off the flame, Add salt and sugar to taste and mix well.
Cool well before storing in an airtight container (if any is left over).
