As much as I love making sweets during Diwali, I also enjoy preparing a lot of savory snacks. Mathri<\/a>, Chakli<\/a>, Fafda, Cholafali, Bhakarwadi<\/a>, and chivda are just a few examples. Among these, chivda is a staple during Diwali and a common accompaniment to chai during tea time..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While you can easily find it at Indian grocery stores, the homemade version is much better and healthier!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Chivda?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Chivda is an Indian snack mix commonly enjoyed to celebrate festivals like Diwali but can be enjoyed year-round. The recipe varies by family and region–some use poha, puffed rice, sev, makhana, fried lentils, chickpeas, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also has many names! Depending on the region, it can be called Bombay mix, namkeen, chevdo, chivda, chevro, chewda, chawanu etc. Chivda makes a great teatime snack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most popular variety of chivda is made with Thin Poha, but making chivda with raw bananas adds a unique flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
