Ingredients:

Thin Poha (Flattened Rice) – 2 cups
Peanuts – ½ cup
Roasted Gram (Daliya) – ¼ cup
Curry Leaves – 10-12 leaves
Green Chilies (Slit) – 2 (optional)
Cumin Seeds (Jeera) – ½ tsp
Mustard Seeds (Rai) – ½ tsp
Turmeric Powder – ½ tsp
Red Chili Powder – ½ tsp (optional, for a mild kick)
Salt – to taste
Sugar – ½ tsp (for a touch of sweetness)
Oil – 1 tbsp

Step 1: Roasting the Poha

In a large, dry pan, roast thin poha over low heat until it turns crispy (about 5 minutes). Stir continuously to avoid burning. Set aside.

Step 2: Preparing the Seasoning

In the same pan, heat 1 tbsp oil.
Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.
Add cumin seeds, curry leaves, and green chilies. Sauté until the curry leaves turn crispy.
Toss in the peanuts and roasted gram, and roast until golden brown.

Step 3: Mixing it All Together

Lower the heat and add turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, and sugar to the pan. Mix well.
Add the roasted poha back into the pan and mix everything together until the poha is evenly coated with the seasoning.
Turn off the heat and let it cool completely.

Step 4: Cooling & Storing

Once cooled, transfer the Lite Chivda to an airtight container to keep it fresh and crispy.
