    Farali Chiwda - Air Fry / Oven Bake

    Farali Chiwda- Fasting Mixture is one of the most loved mixtures in India. You can always enjoy a little sweet and salty mix with tea or coffee. Whether you fast or just want to have it during travel. This mix always is a perfect crunch of potatoes nuts and some raisins. This mix is a great option even for kids who want some from your plate. Trail mixes are great for travel too. You get a good munch and crunch while you wait to reach your destination. Farari chewdo is quite a hit even without days of fasting.

    Falahari mixture is a perfect mix of sweet and sour. However, the farali chevdo mix available outside is fried. Fried mix  is great for taste but not great for your waistline. I do love my cornflakes chiwda. However you do not need to compromise on the food you eat if you can make it at home.

    Here is a healthier version of this Upwas mix which is baked and yet as tasty as the original mix, hence we call it as the baked farali chivda.After our recent foray into the air frier recipes, we have also tried out the air fried farali chivda, hence the steps have been added to the recipe.

    Travel tip: Upvas chivda is a must have from Jalaram's in Bhilai. My uncle has always treated me to this snack whenever I have been there. It has always been my favorite. Which is your favorite eatery to have this?

    • starchy potatoes (if you want to make aloo lacha)

    Notes

    Adding more oil to the potato strips will make them more oil and soggy, less oil is better.
    Fox nuts are popped lotus seeds, also called makhane in hindi.
    To make mint powder at home, keep fresh mint leaves in a hot air fryer (after it has been used for any recipe and turned off), the heat from the air fryer while it cools down is good enough to dry these leaves,these can be powdered and used in this recipe.

        hi Madhu
        These only come out good if they are spread on the baking tray,hence they might not come out well in a air fryer.
        We have not tried it, if you get encouraging results, please do share.

        Thanks

        I would suggest to choose big sized makhana if they get stuck for you, or maybe try roasting them in lesser quantity in multiple batches.
