Ingredients
- 4 cups Puffed rice (murmura)
- 1 cup Unsalted roasted peanuts
- 1 cup Unsalted roasted cashews
- 1 cup Unsalted mixed seeds (pumpkin and sunflower seeds)
- 2 cups Cornflakes (unsweetened)
- 1 cup Dry coconut slices
- 1 cup Chickpea flour noodles (sev), unsalted
- 10 leaves Curry leaves, fresh
- 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Amchur (dried mango) powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Oil (vegetable or peanut oil)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large, wide non-stick pan over medium heat and add the oil.
Step 2
Once the oil is warm, add the curry leaves and dry coconut slices. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until the coconut starts to turn golden and the curry leaves become crispy.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the turmeric powder, cayenne pepper powder, ground black pepper, amchur powder, and garlic powder. Toast the spices for 30 seconds to release their aroma.
Step 4
Add the puffed rice and cornflakes to the pan. Gently toss to coat evenly with the spiced oil mixture.
Step 5
Next, add the unsalted roasted peanuts, cashews, and mixed seeds to the pan. Continue stirring to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Step 6
Finally, add the chickpea flour noodles (sev) and toss gently to avoid crushing the noodles.
Step 7
Cook the snack mix on low heat, stirring frequently, for about 5-7 minutes to ensure everything is crisp and well-toasted.
Step 8
Remove from heat and let the mix cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container.
Step 9
Serve as a snack on its own or pair with your favorite low-sodium chutney.
