    Cornflakes mixture, cornflakes chivda recipe

    November 3, 2018 by Raks Anand 6 Comments / Jump to Recipe

    Cornflakes mixture is an easy Diwali snack that can be made quickly with simple ingredients.

    cornflakes mixture

    I have given deep fried version, but can also be prepared low calorie by using oven.

    This is the first time I am trying corn flakes as main ingredient, though have made chivda earlier.

    Prepared this same way as poha chivda and turned out really good. I tried deep fried version, but I think it is good to adapt the low fat version either by microwaving or baking in oven.

    Deep frying is not compulsory if we use the breakfast cereal cornflakes. My oven has become faulty so I could not use it.  Very simple method, just fry/ roast the ingredients and toss with spices.

    Step by step photos

    1. Heat oil, fry peanuts, cashews, raisins one by one.

    2. I used a big perforated ladle, place each ingredient in it and immersed it in hot oil for deep frying.

    3. Optional step: Deep fry corn flakes in batches in low heat. Drain in paper towels and pat off excess oil.

    It tends to absorb oil more if deep fried, so make sure remove the excess oil with lots of paper towels.

    You can opt to just temper and roast the ingredients as we do usually while tempering.

    4. I deep fried it as this is the first time I had no idea if it can be used as such.

    Deep fry curry leaves as well and set aside.

    5. In another broad pan, heat ghee and add asafoetida, sesame seeds to it. Once its roasted,  switch off the flame.

    Add curry leaves, turmeric, red chilli powder, salt and give a quick stir.

    step 3 temper

    6. Finally add the fried items, sugar and toss well to coat the spices evenly.

    mix together step 4

    I love the sweet addition raisin as well as the sugar, it takes the taste to another level. Also the dal/ nuts balance the taste well in this cornflakes mixture.

    Instructions

    • Heat oil, deep fry peanuts, cashews, raisins one by one.

    • Optional step: Deep fry corn flakes in batches or microwave/ bake to make it crisp.
    • Drain in paper towels and pat off excess oil. It tends to absorb oil more, so make sure remove the excess oil with lots of paper towels.
    • In another broad pan, heat ghee and add asafoetida, sesame seeds to it. Once its roasted,  switch off the flame.

    Notes

    • You can opt to shallow fry the ingredients just like we do while tempering for low fat version.
    • Instead of deep frying the corn flakes, you can microwave or bake too.
    • For microwaving, spread in a microwave proof try and microwave high for 3-4 mins. Mix in between.
    • For baking the ingredients, preheat oven at 180 deg C. Spread ingredients and roast as needed. Don't forget to stir in between.
