  Oh! my mom made a delicious one. I am from New York, basically from Karnataka but brought in Maharashtra(Kolhapur). Proportion of ingredients may matter (Sorry! I am not a chef). But try this one.
  (1) Take 2-3 onions, cut them into long pieces. Allow them to dry for a day or more. The more they dry the better will be.
  (2) Take thin poha . Dry them in sun so that crispy. Otherwise u can just fry them on low heat till they turn crispy. Take care not to brown them. This is important.
  (3) Poha is ready. Heat oil in a kadhai. Lower heat and fry the dried onion slits till golden brown. Drier the onions lesser the oil they will consume. Keep aside on paper.
  (4) Take ground nuts (quantity as per ur taste) and fry them in same oil till golden brown. Put them on paper.
  (5) Cut dry coconut into thin long pieces (quantity as per ur taste) and fry then in same oil till golden brown. Put them on paper.
  (6) Take green chillies and cut each into long slits (Jaast tikhaat pahije asel tar jaast mirchya vapara). Fry them in oil to crispy and keep aside on paper. Take curry leaves and fry them till crispy. Keep aside. Cut garlic (small quantity) and smash very lightly.
  (7) Now it's time to mix. Heat oil in kadhai. Can continue with previous oil and add more if required. Generally keep the oil quantity less , reason latter.
  (8) Add some Jeera. Add garlic and fry to golden brown. Add Dalia (quantity as per ur taste) . When they turn somewhat red, add turmeric powder and salt. Turn heat at lowest. Add crispy dry poha and mix thourougly. Keep as it is for 2-4 minutes mixing in between. If u wish u can add a small quantity of chirmure to this mixture.
  (9)Now time to add the above chillies, curry leaves, groudnuts, dry coconut and onions.
  (10)Don't relax. Something more to do. Add about a tbsp of Khuskhus and a tbsp or more of powdered sugar. Delicious Chiwda is ready. Put off the heat.
  Try if u find it good. I know it requires lot of patience. Well good luck! Take care.
