Ingredients

• 250 grams Rice flakes (Poha)
• 100 grams Peanuts
• 50 grams Roasted gram (Dalia)
• 50 grams Cashew nuts
• 50 grams Golden raisins
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 1 teaspoons Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoons Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoons Mustard seeds
• 15 leaves Curry leaves
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil or vegetable oil
• 0.25 teaspoons Asafoetida (Hing)
• 2 numbers Green chilies, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of coconut oil or vegetable oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is hot, add 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds and let them splutter.

Step 3

Add 15 curry leaves, 2 chopped green chilies, and 0.25 teaspoon of asafoetida, sautéing for a few seconds until the curry leaves turn crisp.

Step 4

Add 100 grams of peanuts to the pan and roast them until golden brown, stirring continuously to avoid burning.

Step 5

Add 50 grams of cashew nuts and 50 grams of roasted gram. Continue stirring until they are lightly browned.

Step 6

Mix in 50 grams of golden raisins and sauté until they puff up.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and add the 250 grams of rice flakes. Stir well to coat the flakes in oil.

Step 8

Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of red chili powder, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt over the mixture. Mix thoroughly to ensure even seasoning.

Step 9

Continue to cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until the rice flakes are crisp and well-coated.

Step 10

Once the chevda is evenly toasted and crisp, remove from heat and allow to cool completely before storing.

Step 11

Store the chevda in an airtight container to retain its crunchy texture.
