Corn Flakes Mixture | Easy Corn Flakes Chivda

In a heavy pan heat 3 teaspoon oil. Add ¼ cup peanuts and roast on low flame until they turn golden brown & crispy. It should take about 3-4 minutes, as the peanuts begin to pop.
Next add 10-12 almonds and cashews, fry until they are golden brown and crisp.
Finally add ¼ cup roasted gram dal and 2 sprigs of curry leaves. Roast for a minute or two until the curry leaves are fried.
Now switch off the flame and add spice powders – ½ teaspoon red chilli powder, ¼ teaspoon asafoetida and ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder followed by salt as needed. Mix well and let it cook for a minute in the residual heat.
Add 2.5 cups of corn flakes and switch on the heat again, set it on low flame.
Quickly mix everything together carefully as to not break the corn flakes. Let the spice powders evenly coat the flakes. Remove from heat.
Once the mixture cools down a bit to room temperature, store it in an airtight container for upto a week. Serve with coffee or tea as a snack!
