INGREDIENTS
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups plain cornflakes (unsweetened)
- 2 tbsp oil (coconut or ghee)
- 1/4 cup almonds, soaked and blanched
- 1/4 cup cashews, pecans (optional soaked)
- 1/4 tsp mustard seeds
- 5–6 curry leaves (optional)
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder

INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS
1. In a small bowl, place the curry powder, paprika and turmeric spices together and set aside.
2. Prepare the large frying pan on a gentle heat to melt the oil. Add mustard seeds and let them pop, and then add fresh ginger to the grated and the curry leaves.
3. Add the almonds, cashews, and pecans to the pan. Toss in and sauté for 1–2 minutes until crispy. If using raisins or dried cranberries, stir them in for a hint of sweetness.
4. Add the powdered spices to the cornflakes to the pan and gently toss them in the mixture until evenly coated. Sauté for 2–3 minutes, stirring constantly, to ensure the cornflakes are crisp but not burnt.
5. Sprinkle with black salt or pink salt. Mix thoroughly.
6. Serve the spicy cornflake snack and eat them warm if you prefer. Store in an airtight container for up to a week.
