Oats chivda recipe | How to make oats chivda (oats mixture)

By swasthi , on May 27, 2019, 7 Comments, Jump to Recipe

Oats chivda recipe – A healthy and quick evening snack recipe using oats. Oats chivda can be packed for the kids’ snack box too. Since oats do not give that extra crunch to the chivda, I use them in combination with either poha, cornflakes or puffed rice. I have used organic rolled oats and they are the best to make this chivda.

There is no specific ratio or proportion to follow to make this oats chivda. I used 3/4 cup oats and 1 heaped cup poha. You can alter this to suit your taste. Uncooked oats may not go well for some folks, so adjust as desired. You can also check this Poha chivda recipe

When oats chivda cools completely, I sprinkle little more salt if needed and add 2 tsp of extra virgin olive oil. It adds good flavor and prevents chivda from being dry.

Just before serving: 2 tbsp of chopped onions, chopped tomatoes, cucumbers, chopped coriander leaves and a bit of lemon juice can also be added to each serving of chivda. Serve immediately otherwise the mixture turns soggy.

    Which brand’s rolled oats did you use? They look nice like poha, because in my experience some brand’s rolled oats are too broken, they don’t look nice whole rolled oats, and that makes it difficult to roast them without burning the small broken pieces.

      Hi May,
      I use regular rolled oats from Anzen brand or Extra thick rolled oats from Bob’s Red mill. Like poha we get these in thick and thin. Yes What you said is right, it is hard to roast evenly. I think you can get it easily online. Thanks for rating the recipe.
      🙂

      Hi Gauri
      You can use medium poha used to make kanda poha and thin poha used for chivda. If using thin poha roast it for lesser time.
      Do not use thick poha used for idli dosa, they turn very hard.
