About Chiwada

Chiwda, also known as poha chivda, is a popular Indian snack made from flattened rice, often combined with peanuts, roasted lentils, curry leaves, and spices like turmeric and chili powder. Originating from Indian cuisine, it is a versatile treat commonly enjoyed during festive seasons or as a light tea-time snack. This savory mix is typically dry-roasted or minimally fried, making it relatively low in fat compared to deep-fried snacks. Chiwda is rich in carbohydrates from the flattened rice, providing quick energy, while ingredients like peanuts and lentils add a dose of protein and essential nutrients. However, its sodium content can be high due to added salt or seasoning, so moderation is key. With its balance of texture, flavor, and nutrition, Chiwda serves as a satisfying option for those seeking a healthier alternative to heavier snacks.
