Since Diwali brings about lots of Sweets and fried snacks , this one takes the pressure off the weight watchers. This is made from Roasted poha ( available at lots of Chana Sing Shops). However one does not have to wait for Diwali to serve this light snack. Its great for tea time , round the year.
250 gms Roasted poha
50 gms broken cashews
75 gms of sliced dry coconut
slightly roasted
100m gms salted roasted peanuts
, 75 gms raisins,
1 tblsp sauf roasted and crushed,
1 tsp each of red chilli powder ,
garam masala,
aamchur powder ,
salt ,
1 tblsp powdered sugar ,
2 tsp turmeric or haldi ,
sliced green chillies ( optional) ,
few karipatta leaves,
1/2 tsp mustard seeds,
4 tblsp oil.
Heat oil , fry the cashew pieces and the raisins. Keep aside . To the hot oil , add mustard seeds , karipatta leaves and sliced green chillies. Add haldi , chilli powder and garam masala . Add the coconut , cashews, peanuts and raisins. Add in the salt , sugar , aamchur and badishop powder. Add the poha and mix well. Remove from heat and let it cool.
