Today I made Cornflakes Mixture ( chivda). It’s my kids favourite and also very easy to make. One doesn’t need any special skill to make this. All the ingredients are fried, mixed and seasoned. But, it has to be fried in small batches. So, the only thing that is required to make this mixture is patience:)

Peanuts – 1/2 kg
