Instructions
How to Make Poha Chivda:
1) In a wok or large deep frying pan, heat up 3-4 cups of oil.
2) Begin by frying each of the ingredients individually. Using a sieve submerged in the oil, add the 2 cups of thick poha in batches to the sieve in the oil. Fry until puffed, lift the sieve from oil to drain, and add into a large paper towel lined bowl.
3) Next, add the peanuts to the sieve and fry for about 1-2 minutes or until slightly golden. Add into the large paper towel lined bowl.
4) Follow the same steps to fry the almonds and cashews for 1-2 minutes each. Add each ingredient to the same bowl.
5) Next, fry the golden raisins in the sieve for about a minute or just until they begin to puff slightly.
6) Finally, fry the curry leaves in the sieve for about a minute, and add them to the bowl.
7) Once all your ingredients are ready, remove the paper towels.
8) Add 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1 1/2 tsp red chili powder, 1 tsp chaat masala, salt (to taste) and 1/2 cup sugar to the bowl with all of the fried ingredients. Mix all of the ingredients together thoroughly, making sure everything is evenly coated.
