Corn Chivda or Makai no Chevdo

Preparation Time : 10 minutes
Cooking Time : 15 minutes 
Serves - 2 to 4 


Ingredients : 
  • 3 cups of corn flakes 
  • 1 cup of peanuts
  • 1/2 cup of roasted chana dal or daliya 
  • 1/2 cup of cashews and raisins 
  • 15 to 20 curry leaves 
  • 5-7 green chilis 
  • oil to fry 
  • salt to taste 
  • sugar to taste (granulated sugar or powdered sugar) 
  • - I took 1/2 cup of sugar as we prefer to have sweet chivda 
  • 1/2 tsp of red chili powder 
  • 1/2 tsp of turmeric powder 

How to prepare : 
  • - Heat oil in a wok or a saucepan or kadhai 
  • -Once the oil is hot enough start frying  With the help of deep frying skimmer spoon or spider spoon (large net spoon) start frying
  • - Put Corn Flakes in the spoon and start frying and start putting things in a big mixing bowl  
  • - Put some peanuts in the deep frying spoon and put the spoon in the oil and fry. 
  • - Remember you dont have to put everything in the kadhai but everything in the spoon (as shown in the picture) and fry. 
  • - This way you will be using less oil and with the flame on medium high you will be able to have a yummy fried chivda too. 
  • - putting flame on medium high will always keep the oil hot enough and will help in frying things fast. 
  • - Fry roasted chana dal and add to the corn flakes and peanuts 
  • - Add fried chilis and curry leaves 
  • - Add fried cashews and raisins 
  • - Once everything is added in the mixing bowl except the salt sugar and masalas let them cool for about 15 to 20 minutes or max half and hour 
  • - In a small bowl mix sugar, salt, turmeric powder, red chili powder. 
  • - Now add this on the chivda and mix everthing (toss nicely) upside down. 
  • - Pack the chivda in an airtight zipper or plastic bag and then store in an airtight container for long lasting taste.
