Poha chivda recipe
This recipe is totally new to me, i have never heard about it until a viewer asked for the recipe. When i searched for this recipe, i came to know that this recipe is my favourite. Have tried it from haldirams namkeens range. Love them so much. I love their unique spice mix and the flavour of chat masala in this.
So yesterday i asked hubby to take me to supermarket. I looked for the ingredients list in their packet and took a note of it. I also found this cute little bucket in their utensil section. Got one and decided to take picture in them.
I made this today and it came out pretty good. I love to add lots of nuts and raisins in this, which makes this more tasty. Hope you will love this and let me know how it turned out for you.
