Corn Flakes Chivda (Spicy Indian Snack Mix)

Time: 13 mins

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
• 1/2 cup shelled peanuts or 1/2 cup mixed nuts, of your choice
• 1/4 cup golden raisin
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder (to taste)
• 1/3 teaspoon turmeric powder
• kosher salt (to taste. 1 teaspoon works for me.)
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon lime juice
• 3 cups corn flakes

Directions

• 1 Heat oil in a pan and add cumin seeds. Wait until they sizzle, then toss in the raisins (or other dried fruit pieces) and nuts. Stir a minute.
• 2 Keep on very low heat and stir in the chili powder, turmeric powder, salt and sugar.
• 3 Mix in the lime juice, keeping your face averted because the oil will splatter.
• 4 Finally gently fold in the cornflakes over low heat for about 3-4 minutes until the cornflakes are well coated with the spice blend. Cool completely before storing in an airtight container at room temperature.
