Sugar Free, Oil Free Sweet Poha Mixture
I used organic jaggery powder (which is easily available in both online and physical stores) in making this sweet chivda. If available, you can easily substitute jaggery powder with coconut sugar or maple sugar.
How to Roast Nuts
I have used roasted nuts to make this zero-oil sweet chivda. You can easily roast the nuts by following these steps,
To roast almonds, take almond slivers or finely sliced almonds and toss them in a thick bottom pan on low flame until they start to change color.
To roast cashews, toss broken cashew pieces (using broken cashew pieces, will help in easy and even roasting) in a hot pan on low flame until they start to change color.
Similarly, you can toss raisins, coconut flakes and dates for 1-2 minutes on medium flame.
NOTE: Nuts will get roasted fast, keep an eye on them, when you are roasting or tossing.

As this sweet chivda is oil free, you can easily store this in a clean and dry air-tight container for 5-6 days. Use only dry spoon to take chivda from container and close the lid tightly.
