Roasted Poha Namkeen

Posted by Divya on June 23, 2016 Filed Under: Snacks & Appetizers Tagged With: Gluten Free, Healthy, Kids Friendly, Vegan

“Roasted Poha Namkeen” is a crunchy, salty and low-oil munching snack that you can put your hands on at any time of the day without feeling guilty. Your search for healthy, tasty and guilt free snack ends here. It is so easy to prepare and will not even take much of your time. It is also known as Chivda Namkeen or Poha Chivda Namkeen!!!

This namkeen is made without deep frying any ingredient. Thin Poha is used in this recipe which imparts the desired lightness to the Namkeen without making it too heavy, also reducing the need for oil in preparation. It is combined with goodness of peanuts to add crunch, raisins for adding chewy sweetness and curry leaves for that lovely aroma and flavours.

It is ideal option for healthy evening snack with your hot cup of Masala tea. You can also pack and carry this to office for satisfying your mid day hunger pangs thus saving yourself from reaching to those salty and unhealthy packets of chips or biscuits. You can add some more interesting ingredients like dried coconut pieces, fennel seeds, cashews or other spices as per your taste. This crunchy healthy snack can also be given in kids tiffin which I am sure they would happily munch with their sandwiches or parathas.
