Healthy 15 Minute Cornflake Poha Chivda Recipe
Cornflake Poha Chivda Recipe is one of the easy to prepare snack recipes made with cornflakes, flattened rice and other spices.
Although it is a simple recipe, it is a good idea to plant and keep all ingredients aside. Based on your taste you can adjust a few ingredients here and there. Like peanuts and roasted chana dal give crunchy flavour.
In order to enhance the flavour we can add thin sliced dry coconut. Although we have not used tasting salt in our recipe one who likes to add it can. I have avoided it because it is not good for my health.
Based on the quantity of all ingredients take a wide vessel and drop all fried ingredients in it so that it becomes easy to sprinkle Masala powder and mix well.
Although sunflower or olive oil is light and good for health, Palmolein oil tastes great for this recipe so I had to exclusively purchase a pack of 1 litre.
Usually, deep-fried snacks give crunchy taste only when they are cooled, so to keep their crispiness once Cornflake Poha Chivda Recipe is cooled, store them in an airtight container. Also, it’s a good idea to store it in two boxes one is large and the other is small.
When our children open boxes, it’s obvious that chivda loses its crispiness as ingredients absorb moisture in the air. Other than that, it’s a great evening snack along with a cup of tea.
If you want to make only Cornflake poha mixture then you can avoid flattened rice similarly if you want to make only Poha Chivda Recipe then you can skip cornflake and make this recipe according to your taste.
TIPS to make perfect Cornflake Poha Chivda Recipe:
- To check whether the oil is ready to deep-fry or not add a piece of a cornflake if it floats then the oil is ready.
- When you add curry leaves, they splutter so either fry with a long spatula or keep any plate over oil.
- While sprinkling Masala powder, add when the ingredients are hot so that the spice sticks to the ingredients.
- We should not pour oil to the brim of the Kadai, when deep frying oil may spill out.
- After the Cornflake Poha Chivda Recipe cools down, store them in an airtight container to keep them crisp.
- Among all oils, Palmolein Oil gives a good taste to this recipe.
- If you want, you can add thin or finely grated dry coconut to enhance the flavour.
- Each ingredient like cornflakes, flattened rice, groundnuts, etc. has different boiling points so check the temperature of the oil.
- Based on the quantity of oil and size of Kadai, we need to add cornflakes or flattened rice in batches.

- To check whether the oil is ready to deep fry or not, drop a piece of a cornflake. If it floats then the oil is ready.
- Add a batch of cornflakes, if the oil is ready they get fried immediately, remove from the oil before they turn their colour.

- Once the deep-fried transfer to another wide vessel.
- Similarly in the remaining oil add a batch of flattened rice, deep fry and transfer to a wide vessel.
