For the ultimate savoury snack, experience the total flavour bomb that is Kenya Chevdo (sometimes called Kenya Chevda). This shortcut recipe is a mixed bag of potato crisps, nuts, puffed rice and spices. The hot and sour flavours are utterly addictive.
Cut much of the hard work out of making this spicy concoction by buying your potato crisps and sticks.
What is Kenya Chevdo?
Kenya chevdo is a product of cultures mingling. It's origins lie in the South Asian diaspora cuisine of East Africa. Chevdo, or chivda is an Indian snack mix of puffed rice, daal, fried potatoes, nuts and spices. The Indian version is typically heavily seasoned. The likes of cinnamon, cloves and fennel seeds produce big flavours. It's a popular tea-time snack, along with a cuppa steaming hot chai.
Having said this, Kenya Chevdo is an adapted version and delicious in its' own right. It doesn't go wild with the spices, but instead draws flavour from a great deal of crispy fried curry leaves, chilli, turmeric, citric acid, salt and sugar. The result is a fragrant chilli-lemon crisps vibe. You can taste the sweet, starchiness of potatoes, the earthy peanuts and fried daal, and of course, appreciate the welcome sweetness of sultanas.
It sounds like pure sacrilege, but have you ever had a chevdo sandwich? It's incredible! An upgrade on the rather bland crisps sandwiches of my childhood. As soon as I took my first bite of a chevdo sandwich, I was hooked. Pillowy bread, salty butter and a liberal whack of chilli-lemon textures danced on my tongue like no jam sandwich ever could!
