Scale
- 3 tbsp vegetable oil
- 2 tsp fennel seeds
- 15–20 curry leaves
- 1 green chile, thinly sliced (optional or to taste)
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1 3/4 tsp red chili powder (or to taste)
- 1 tsp amchur (optional)
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
- 6 cups (200 g) cornflakes
- 2 cups (73 g) potato sticks
- 3/4 cup (96 g) roasted unsalted peanuts or cashews
- 1 cup (157 g) California Raisins
Instructions
- In a large pot add the vegetable oil over medium heat. Heat the oil for 1 minute and then add fennel seeds, curry leaves, and sliced green chile. Be careful when adding the curry leaves as the oil will sputter. Saute for 30 seconds or until the sputtering stops. Decrease the heat to low and add the turmeric, red chili powder, amchur, sugar, and salt to the oil and mix well for 30 seconds. Add the cornflakes, potato sticks, raisins, and peanuts and toss until well coated. Mix well over low heat for 1-2 minutes. Taste the mixture and adjust salt and spices to your liking. Remove from heat and store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
Notes
Make sure everything is measured out before you begin as the spices will burn in the oil if you take too long to add all the ingredients.
