Jowar Puffs Chivda Recipe

Quick, healthy and delicious Jowar Puffs chivda recipe in 15 min. It is diabetic friendly, gluten free and the perfect evening snack. Why do I love Jowar Puffs? Find below.

I am a millet person. As a kid I used to love having bhakri (a type of Maharashtrian flatbread) made from flour of Jowar, Bajra and Nachni .  Another way to consume millets is to snack on the puffs made from them.

Generally, we all reach out for rice puffs which are used in making bhel but now-a-days the puffs of Nachni, Jowar and Bajra are easily available in stores of Pune. One can also make them at home and I will soon post the recipe of same. But for now, go to the nearest supermarket and buy the puffs to make the below snack.

It’s a hit in the family and has successfully replaced the fried or sweet ready-made snack.

Advantages: Salichya Lahya are rich in folic acid and helps prevent acidity.
Jowar puffs are rich in fiber, minerals, calcium and low in calories.
Nuts and seeds contain fiber, protein, minerals, omega 3, 6 acids etc.

How about making this and sharing your recipes with me using the core puff ingredients?

Till next time, Bon Appetit
