     Ingredients

          1 Cup of Cornflakes
          1/2 Cup of Aval (Poha or Flattened Rice)
          1/4 Cup of Raw Peanuts
          2 Tbsp of Roasted Gram Dal
          1 Sprig of Curry Leaves
          1 Tsp of Red Chilly Powder or to taste
          Pinch of Sugar
          Pinch of Black Salt (Kala Namak)
          7 Roasted Almonds
          Salt to taste
          Pinch of Asafoetida
          2 Tsp of Oil


     Method

  • In a microwave safe bowl, add the corn flakes to it and microwave it for 2 mins. Every 30 secs, take the bowl out and mix it. This is to avoid burning taste. Transfer this to a mixing bowl.
  • In a pan, heat 1/2 tsp of oil, add aval, fry for a min and transfer it to cornflakes bowl. Again in the same pan, add some oil, and fry the roasted gram dal and peanuts for 2 mins, until they changes color. Transfer it to a bowl containing cornflakes.
  • Heat oil in a pan, in a low flame, add the curry leaves, asafoetida, red  chilly powder, salt and sugar, give a quick stir and turn off the flame. Transfer this to a bowl containing corn flakes and add black salt. Mix gently until all the ingredients are well coated with spices.
  • Cool down and store it in an airtight container.
  • Serve it as evening snack for coffee or tea.


     Tips

  • You can also fry the cornflakes in a pan with oil instead of doing it in microwave.
  • You can take some cornflakes in a strainer and immerse it into heated oil and fry it, in that case you get a very nice taste. But this method is good for health.
  • Add any nuts of your choice like cashews, raisin or walnuts.
  • Adding black salt is optional. Just use table salt.
  • Don’t use flavored cornflakes to make this mixture.
