Diwali recipes and snacks - aval mixture or poha mixture | Chivda

Actually, a simple recipe for Deepavali savoury or as a simple evening snack when we have guests. It is liked by kids and adults alike. It has one more strange use in our family. It is a side dish for sambar rice or rasam rice.

Also called chivda or chivda namkeen recipe in Hindi and Marathi. This I learnt from one of my sisters and she lives in Mumbai. .
