Ingredients

• 1 cup Peanuts (unsalted, roasted)
• 1 cup Roasted chickpeas
• 2 cups High-protein puffed rice cereal
• 0.5 cup Cashews (unsalted, roasted)
• 0.5 cup Chana dal (fried or roasted)
• 2 tablespoons Flaxseeds
• 2 tablespoons Pumpkin seeds (unsalted, roasted)
• 1 cup Spicy sev or baked chickpea noodles
• 10 leaves Curry leaves (fresh or dried)
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 0.75 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Amchur (dried mango) powder
• 1 tablespoon Oil (preferably coconut or sunflower)
• 1 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 1 piece Green chili (slit lengthwise)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pan or wok on medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil.

Step 2

When the oil is hot, add mustard seeds and let them crackle for 30 seconds.

Step 3

Add the green chili and curry leaves, allowing them to sizzle and release their aroma.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and stir in turmeric powder, red chili powder, salt, black pepper, and amchur powder. Mix well for 30 seconds until the spices are fragrant.

Step 5

Add the peanuts, roasted chickpeas, cashews, fried chana dal, flaxseeds, and pumpkin seeds to the pan. Stir everything thoroughly to coat the nuts and seeds with the spiced oil mixture.

Step 6

Gently fold in the high-protein puffed rice cereal and spicy sev, ensuring even distribution of the spices across all ingredients.

Step 7

Cook the mixture on low heat, stirring continuously for 5–6 minutes to lightly toast the ingredients and enhance the flavors. Be careful not to burn the spices or the mix.

Step 8

Remove the pan from heat and let the Chevda cool completely to room temperature. The mix will crisp up as it cools.

Step 9

Once cooled, transfer the High Protein Spicy Chevda to an airtight container for storage. It can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks.
