Chivda Chat (Bhel Puri style) (Poha/Rice flakes/Atukulu mixture chat)

This is a most simplest and yummy recipe. In my childhood, during summer holidays, mom used to treat us with spicy, crispy and yummy chivda chat (mixture chat) followed by homemade icecream/juice. You can prepare chivda and preserve fresh for almost 10 days. Just before eating, take the required mixture and add onions, savory and sprinkle lemon for a great chat touch!

Ingredients
Poha thin - 1 lb
Peanuts - 1 cup
Cashews - 1/4 cup
Roasted chana dal/daliya/putnaalu - 1 cup
Corn flakes - 1 cup
Red chillies - 5
Green chillies - 3
Curry leaves - 6 sprigs
Dry coconut slices - 1/4 cup (optional)
Turmeric - 1 tspoon
Salt to taste
Garnishing
Aloo bhujia - 1/2 cup
Onions
Chat masala - 1/2 tspoon
Lime juice

Procedure
Dry roast or use little oil and roast a cup of peanuts and keep them aside. Now take a nonstick kadai, add half a spoon of oil. When oil gets heated, add poha/rice flakes and roast them on a slow flame until poha turns crispy.
Take a nonstick kadai, add little oil and fry corn flakes and keep them aside. Now to the same oil, add daliya, curry leaves, red chillies, green chillies, cashews and dry coconut slices. Fry them for couple of minutes.
Add salt, turmeric and roasted poha and cornflakes to the mixture in kadai and mix them all on a low flame. Switch off the stove and serve the mixture with roasted peanuts, aloo bhujia/savory, chat masala, onion slices and lime sprinkled. Chivda chat is ready!
