Originating from the western regions of India, Sweet Chivda (Meetha Chivda) is a masterclass in contrasting flavors and textures. ARM Orgaanics crafts this delicacy starting with premium, organic flattened rice (poha). The poha is gently roasted or flash-fried until it achieves a delicate, glass-like crispness. While still warm, it is generously tossed in finely powdered, organic raw cane sugar, allowing the sweetness to adhere perfectly to every flake. To elevate the mix, we fold in an abundance of premium inclusions: plump, sweet organic raisins (sultanas), heavily roasted peanuts, and golden-fried cashew nuts.

The result is an incredibly complex snack where every single handful is a surprise a little bit sweet, a little bit salty, a hint of spice, and overwhelmingly crunchy. Because of its mild spice level and prominent sweetness, this Chivda is an absolute favorite among children and those with a sensitive palate. It is a highly traditional offering during Diwali and other festive occasions, acting as a bridge between heavy savory snacks and rich desserts. It is also excellent when mixed 50/50 with a spicy namkeen to create a custom, flavor-exploding trail mix.
