Raw Banana Chivda
Raw Banana Chivda is a festive South Indian / pan-Indian namkeen — thinly sliced raw bananas deep-fried until crisp, then tossed with cashews, peanuts, almonds, raisins, curry leaves, chaat masala and a hint of caster sugar. The sweet-salty-spicy mix is stored airtight and enjoyed with masala chai through Diwali and Navratri (vrat-safe friendly).
