I found this recipe on Meera's Enjoy Indian Food and made it for Diwali faraal last year. Ever since, I have been hooked on to it and make a fresh batch the moment the earlier one is over. Here's how I made it this time around:
5 cups Rice Crispies cereal
1 cup shev/aloo bhujia
4 tsp oil
1/2 tsp mustard seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
a generous pinch of asafotida
1 tsp turmeric pwd
2 dry red chillies - broken & deseeded
Handful of roasted peanuts
Handful of roasted cashewnuts
1 tsp coriander pwd
1 tsp cumin pwd
1 tsp fennel/saunf pwd
1/2 tsp red chilli pwd
1/4 tsp cloves pwd
1/4 tsp cinnamon pwd
1/2 tsp amchur pwd
Salt & sugar to taste
Heat the oil in a large wide pan. Temper it with mustard seeds, cumin seeds and asafotida in that order. Add the turmeric pwd & red chillies. Fry for a minute. Add the peanuts and cashewnuts, fry another few mins. Add all the dry masals, salt, sugar, rice crispies & shev and mix well. Saute on medium low for 5 mins. Allow to cool completely, then store in an airtight container.
This chivda goes to Pallavi's Sunday Snacks - Grab n Go event at All Things Yummy.
