Ingredients
- 50 grams Desiccated coconut
- 50 grams Almonds
- 50 grams Pecans
- 50 grams Pumpkin seeds
- 30 grams Sunflower seeds
- 3 tablespoons Ghee or coconut oil
- 15 leaves Curry leaves
- 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 0.25 teaspoon Asafoetida (hing)
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Cut the almonds and pecans into halves. Measure all the seeds and keep them aside for easy access during cooking.
Step 2
Heat the ghee or coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Step 3
Add mustard seeds to the hot oil. Once they start to splutter, add the cumin seeds and allow them to sizzle for a few seconds.
Step 4
Add the curry leaves and asafoetida. Stir carefully, as the curry leaves can splatter.
Step 5
Add the almonds, pecans, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds to the pan. Stir continuously to toast them evenly.
Step 6
When the nuts and seeds turn golden brown, add the desiccated coconut and lightly toast it for about 2 minutes until golden and fragrant.
Step 7
Sprinkle turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt over the mixture. Mix well to coat everything evenly with spices.
Step 8
Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
Step 9
Turn off the heat and allow the Chivda to cool completely in the pan. This will ensure it becomes crispy as it cools.
Step 10
Once cooled, store in an airtight container to maintain its crispness. Enjoy as a low carb snack option!
