Chudwa or chivda is a jar snack that you can have as an accompaniment to your tea or have it whenever you have a craving for tit bits. It is an ideal snack for long journeys or picnics and stays fresh for more than a week.
This chudwa is my Uncle's favorite past time and we owe him his share whenever we make it. This home made snack is comparatively healthier to the store brought ones and also all the ingredients used in this recipe have health benefits. To begin with, the main ingredient rice flakes are rich in iron, vitamin B and protein. The crunchy peanuts are also rich in proteins and various vitamins and minerals and so are the dalias or the split chickpeas.
While preparing the chudwa make sure to use the right amount of oil that which will be just enough to fry the ingredients one after the other.
Ingredients:
- Rice flakes - 200 gms
- Peanuts - 1/2 cup
- Dalia / split chickpeas - 1/2 cup
- Dry Coconut (cut into small pieces) - 1/2 cup
- Dry red chilies - 6 to 7 nos
- Curry leaves - 2 sprigs
- Salt - to taste
- Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
- Oil - 3 tbsp
Method:
