Aval Mixture is a crispy, nutty savoury made by blending roasted nuts, flattened rice and curry leaves. Aval Mixture is relished as teatime snack and a good choice to make as savoury for Diwali.
Aval Mixture is a easy snack that you can make in few mins, just get ready with all your ingredients and fry them one by one, toss it up with your favorite spices and all done…Your poha mixture is ready….that sounds cool right?!
Yesterday night when I was watching a movie and felt like munching something , the snack box was empty but I was reluctant to go make anything just for my sake that instance as I was deep into the movie so the first thing I did today morning is to make this mixture, clicked it too. Now I have a box of evening snacks ready for today.
Aval Mixture also called as Poha Chivda – You can easily make this for Diwali 2014 and share it with your friends and relatives.

Hi, Can the aval be roasted in an oven or dry roasted in a pan with just a smear of oil to solve the problem of extra oil?Or will it turn out hard? Any suggestions? Thank you!

It wont be crisp so better to deep fry
Sreekala Panicker
You didn’t include the peanuts in your process though it’s there in the ingredient list. Might be an oversight. Otherwise the recipe is really good! Thank you!

I used roasted peanuts so did not deep fry it.
