Hi Archana

have you tried to roast the cashewnuts/pean uts etc in oven instead of tava? or try putting all the poha/nuts ingredients together in oven and baked?

any tips on that would be helpful.

thanks
subha

Adhanani- Thats a lovely suggestion. Infact in plces like US, you get a lot of variety of tiny cereals, which can make great chevdo's and Rice Crispies as you said is a great addition/altern ative

This is an excellent and super easy recipe. To make it easier and tastier and a little bit healthier, substitute the fried flat rice with rice krispies. It makes the chevdo lighter and tastier.
