Corn Flakes Mixture- Corn flakes Chivda

This is also called as Corn flakes chivda in many houses. This is a crunchy tea time snack. You can make this under 1 hour and this also keeps well for a week.

You can think of this as an indulgent granola or trail mix.

I have used a combination of cashews, peanuts and raisins in this recipe but you can also use slivered almonds.

At the Praveen household, we are conscious and constant calorie counters. We dont indulge in deep fried foods and ghee laden desserts very often. With the exception of those instances where Mr.P will declare his abstinence from all divine food ( read deep fried and sweet) and go and gorge on samosas in office.

Lets leave that man in peace, shall we? Its best if we remain oblivious to such things.

But very rarely, i mean really rarely, i do fry a thing or two. Ok. My monthly kowtowing to  poori is excusable. Usually this frying exercise happens in a scheduled way. Yes! dont pop your eyes. That s how it happens at my place. And that s how i like to keep it.

This month, when the time for frying came, i decided to make something that i can store in a tin and munch away the weekend. And i dint have the patience to make murukkus. Nah. They are too demanding. So, i made this mixture. With all the crunchiness of corn flakes and roasted nuts, they are a perfect accompaniment to TV nights.
