Hi everyone, Here is the crochet recipe of Indian famous snack Chivada and Shev (Bhujiya). Ingrediants in chivda are Pohe, Murmure (rice lahi), ground nut, chilly, Kadhipatta. We made only murmura chivda, no poha used. Actally it looks as,

and Shev is made of besan (Chana daal floor) and in real it will look as,

For Crochet Chivda we used yellow, orange, blackish red, blackish green colour yarns (because nuts, chilly and kadhipatta are deep fried in oil so we use blackish colours) in 4 ply and 1.75 mm crochet hook. Murmura: With yellow yarn, make ch3, incomplete dc 2 in first ch, YO and pass through all, bind off. This is one murmura, for Chivda we have to make several, here we made 25-30 pieces.

Dalava: With orange yarn in a magic loop make ch1, sc 5, cl by sl st in the first sc. Bind off.

Daana: (Ground nut): With blackish red yarn, make ch2, get second ch long, (YO insert hook in first ch, YO get 2 long sts) rep 4 times, there are 9 sts on hook, YO and pass through all 9 sts, bind off. Make 4-5 pieces.

Chilly: With blackish green yarn, R1: Make ch 6, sc 1 on each ch starting from second ch, (5 sts) R2: ch1 turn, sc 1 in each st, R3: same as R2. Sew two sides together by sl sts. Make it more hollow by inserting some pencil.

Kadhipatta: With Blackish green yarn, R1: Ch4, dc 4 in first ch, (5sts), ch1 turn, R2: sc2 in first and last sts, sc 1 in middle sts, (7 sts), ch1 turn, R3: sc 1 in each st, (7sts) bind off.

SHEV: Pattern: For this I simply cut 1" to 2" pieces of orange yarn. Apply some fabric fevical on each piece and let them dry, so that it will become stiff.
