Ingredients

Instructions

  • Dry roast the puffed sorghum until they are crispy. Set it aside.
  • Heat oil in a large frying pan or kadhai. Fry the peanuts until they are crunchy.
  • Add salt, turmeric powder, chili powder, dried red chili, and curry leaves.
  • Fry until the curry leaves and dried chili is crispy. Add coconut and roasted Bengal gram. Fry for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the puffed sorghum and mix well.
  • Cool completely before storing.

Notes

Dry roast the puffed sorghum until they are crunchy. Do not skip this step.
Make sure the curry leaves are fried well and are dry and crispy. If there is any moisture content, the chivda will lose its crunch. Similarly, fry the dried chili well.
Make sure the peanuts are fried well and are crispy before adding other ingredients. The peanuts will begin to split in half when they are done. It is best to take one peanut out, cool it slightly, and taste it to see if it is perfectly fried.
