For those who love intense flavor but want to avoid the heavy grease of deep-fried snacks, ARM Orgaanics Kara (Spicy) Chivda is the ultimate solution. We begin with premium organic flattened rice (poha), which is gently dry-roasted until it becomes paper-thin and delightfully crispy. Because the base is roasted rather than fried, this snack remains astonishingly light and low in fat, making it a truly guilt-free indulgence. The magic of this Chivda lies in its traditional tempering (tadka). We toss the roasted poha with crunchy organic peanuts, roasted split gram (dalia), and cashew nuts. This mixture is then bathed in a sizzling infusion of cold-pressed oil, mustard seeds, fresh organic curry leaves, turmeric, and a generous dose of fiery green and red chillies. The result is a highly aromatic snack where every handful delivers a delicate crunch from the poha, a heavy snap from the nuts, and a lingering, spicy heat that warms the palate.
