Poha Chivda or Indian Trail Mix is very easy to make! It is a very popular snack served with tea. It is even made during Diwali and other festivals! The best part is that this is made with minimal and comes together in just 15-20 minutes!
This recipe goes rather quickly once you start, so I will suggest you keep all the ingredients ready.
Then, dry roast the poha in a large wok for 8-10 minutes. The color doesn't change but the poha needs to crisp up nicely.
Next, heat the oil in the same wok. Once the oil heats well, add the peanuts and fry them until crispy.
Then add the cashews and the split chana dal (Dalia). Fry them for 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden.
Next, add the coconut slices, red chilies, curry leaves, cumin, and mustard seeds. Also, add the hing at this point. Saute till the coconut slices turn golden.
Lastly, add the turmeric powder, powdered sugar, and salt. Mix well.
After this, add the roasted poha. Mix well but careful as to not break the crispy ingredients.
Once mixed, remove the chivda from the wok. Cool it on a large platter. Once it has cooled completely, store it in an airtight container. This Poha Chivda recipe | Poha Mixture recipe stays fresh for up to 2-3 weeks.
