South India is famous for many tea time snacks. Mixture is one of the such snack which is loved by every one. A sweet along with the mixture and coffee is the best snack combination, served to guests in South India. Although the snack is simple, many don’t prefer it as basen is the base and moreover deep fried. For such people Poha chivda or mixture is the best alternative. Today I made the poha mixture even more healthier by skipping the deep frying of the poha. I have rather baked the poha until crisp and golden, mixed it with other ingredients. Give it a try.
INGREDIENTS
- Poha 2 cups
- Ghee 1 Tsp
- Peanuts 2 Tsp
- Roasted chana 2 Tsp
- Curry leaves a few
- Salt to taste
- Red chilly powder to taste
I have used the thin variety of poha. Thick poha needs extra baking time
Pre heat the oven to 400 O F. Layer the poha on the baking tray. Make sure the poha forms a thin layer.
Bake the poha for 20 minutes. Mix the poha for every 5 minutes so that there is a even baking.
When the poha turns golden brown remove and set aside.
In a pan heat the ghee and fry the peanuts, roasted chana(putnalu), curry leaves. Mix them to the poha.
Also mix the salt and chilly powder.
Combine them well and enjoy.
You can use cashew nuts also.
