About Chivda

Chivda is a popular Indian snack mix made from flattened rice (poha) blended with various ingredients like roasted nuts, dried fruits, spices, and sometimes fried lentils or sev (thin fried chickpea flour noodles). Originating from Indian cuisine, this light yet flavorful dish is often enjoyed as a tea-time accompaniment or festive treat. Chivda is typically roasted or lightly fried, making it a less indulgent alternative to deep-fried snacks. It’s rich in carbohydrates from poha, while the addition of nuts like peanuts or almonds provides healthy fats and protein, enhancing its nutritional value. However, variations with excessive oil and added sugars may diminish its healthfulness. Low-fat, baked versions of Chivda are particularly enjoyed by health-conscious individuals seeking a quick energy boost. A versatile snack, its balance of textures and flavors makes it a cherished part of Indian culinary traditions.
