This is an all time favorite snack in my house next to popcorn. This is a healthy snack and very little oil is used in the preparation of this snack. This crunchy snack is addictive and disappears quickly …try it to believe me.
Ingredients
- Poha/ flat rice – 2 cup (thin variety)
- Peanuts (raw) – 3 to 4 tablespoons
- Fried channa/ dahlia – 2 tablespoons
- Cashew – 1 tablespoon
- Green chili – 3 slit
- Red chili – 2 (broken)
- Turmeric powder – ¼ teaspoon
- Salt to taste
- Oil – 2 tablespoons
Directions
1. Set a deep bottomed pan. Add oil, once hot add fried channa, peanuts and fry for 2 to 3 minutes in medium low flame. Add cashews, green chilies and red chilies and fry for 2 more minutes.
2. Stir in poha / flat rice, salt and turmeric and fry for 5 to 7 more minutes on simmer. Once you find the poha crispy switch off the flame.
