• Servings: 8
• 1 1/2 cups corn flakes
• 1 cup crisp rice cereal
• 1 cup puffed corn cereal
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/4 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1/2 cup mixed nuts

• 1/4 teaspoon mango powder (amchur)

Recipe

• 1 combine the cereals and set aside.
• 2 heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. add the mustard seeds to the hot oil and cover with a lid to avoid splattering. fry until the mustard seeds stop popping, a few seconds.
• 3 reduce heat to low. add the cereal mix and stir well.
• 4 add the nuts, cayenne pepper, salt, black pepper and mango powder. roast, stirring occasionally for 5 to 7. i actually roast a bit longer, but you have to be very careful you don't burn the nuts or they'll taste bitter. a little brown or tan is ok.
• 5 remove from the heat and cool completely.
