Diwali Cookathon - Puffed Rice Chivda

This is slightly(and I repeat, slightly :)) healthier version of the chivda we make back home.


Puffed Rice Chivda



Ingredients

4 cups puffed rice
1/2 cup cornflakes
1/2 cup roasted unsalted peanuts
1 tbsp raisin
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp red chilli powder
1 tsp cumin/jeera seeds
1 tsp mustard seed.
1 tsp turmeric powder
pinch of asoefitida/hing powder
2 tbsp oil

Start of by dry roasting the puffed rice and cornflakes in a medium sauce pan over low heat. Roast the puffed rice and cornflakes for about 10-15 mins. Mix in the peanuts, sugar, red chilli powder and salt. Heat the oil and add the raisin. Fry them for a minute or two and add them to the puffed rice mix. In the same oil add the cumin and mustard seeds. When the seeds sputter, add the turmeric and asoefitida powder. Add the seasoning to the puffed rice and mix well. Store in an air tight container.
