ReplyDeleteI love the sweet and tangy taste of this chevdo. I hope you have made enough to share. :) I love recipes that bring back childhood memories.
ReplyDeleteFirstly got very emotional reading about your mom. You need such strong pillars only then you grow stronger and wiser as you grow older and learn a lot from the mistakes. Not to forget, makes you extremely mature suddenly. More power to strong independent girls like us. Your moms recipe rocks and you have beautifully styled and photographed it. My Mom always believed in eating fried snacks as well as having a healthy lifestyle. I on the other hand tend to get lazy with the exercise schedule.
ReplyDeleteThis is addictive snack, love binging with tea. Mothers are special and this is a nice tribute to your mom Jagruti.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post Jagruthi -- very emotional and touching. Moms have a special knack of turning even simple everyday dishes into something exceptional and delicious. Your poha chevdo looks so inviting -- my husband will be a happy man if I make this for him :-)
ReplyDeleteVery beautifully written post Jagruthi! I always feel the dishes made by mom is simple with minimal ingredients yet they taste out of the world and is the best comfort food! This chivdo looks like a great snack for kids.
ReplyDeleteLove this snack, especially when it's mom's recipe. Even if they cook with simple ingredients, they turned to be the yummiest dish.
ReplyDeleteloved reading about your mom. Even my mom never cooked fancy stuff,very simple. But that time we loved that too.Moreoevr kids expectation was also not like today's :P.
ReplyDeleteComing to the recipe preapared this chivda so atsefully. I put all those ingredients which you added for photograph. Will make one soon.
Your Poha chevda looks delicious with so many nuts added to it. I think our mums used the most natural products and served it with lots of love and that's why whatever they made was good.
