Instructions

1. Heat oil in a kadhai. Take enough oil so that we can fry Poha, peanuts and cashew nuts.
2. Place the Poha in a medium size sieve with a handle and dip it in hot oil. The poha will get fried and will be increased in size. Take it out, drain the oil and put it on a absorbant paper/tissue paper.
3. If you don't have a sieve, put poha in the kadhai and take it out with a big spoon. Drain the excess oil and put it on tissue paper.
4. In the same kadhai, add peanuts and cashew nuts. Fry them till they become golden brown and take it out. Drain the oil and put them aside.
5. Switch off the heat and in the same kadhai, fry green chillies and curry leaves. Always cut green chillies before frying. Also, please be careful while frying curry leaves as they splutter. Take them out.
6. Now in a big thali or a big mixing bowl. Add fried poha, peanuts, cashew nuts, fried curry leaves, green chillies. Add haldi, lal mirch, citric acid, sugar and salt. Toss it well. The oil on the poha will help in sticking these masalas. Make sure you add the masalas as soon as you fry.
7. Toss it well and store it in an air tight container. Voila, Poha Chivda is ready to serve.
