  • Then heat oil. Add 2 cups makai poha in batches and fry it till it puffs and doubles in size. Add the fried makai poha to the murmura.
  • Take ¾ cup or 100 g peanuts and add them to a sieve. Stir continuously till they become golden brown and crispy. Add the fried peanuts to the murmura.
  • Then take ½ cup or 50 g roasted chana dal and add it to a sieve. Stir continuously till it becomes slightly brown.

Notes

  • Frying murmura makes it fluffy and super crispy for chavanu.
  • Coat turmeric and salt when the fried murmura is slightly hot.
  • Grinding the masala together gives an even flavour to chavanu.
  • Addition of chaat masala gives a chatpata taste to chavanu.
  • You can use 1 tsp amchur powder instead of limbu na phool.
  • Do not add sugar while grinding the masala.
  • Fry makai poha on medium-high flame so it puffs up.
  • Fry peanuts on medium flame till slightly golden brown, then divide into two parts.
  • You can use soaked and dried chana dal instead of daliya dal.
  • Puff up chavanu masala in oil and then add it into chavanu so it will coat evenly.
  • Store it in an airtight container. It stays good for months.
