Cereal Mixture

I was inspired by Mahimaa's Chivda , made some modifications to it and ended up with this Cereal Mixture. This is a very healthy snack which can be prepared at home in no time. I just used the cereals I had at home...you can modify it per ur taste...Also this can be stored easily upto 2-3 weeks in an air tight container..soo here goes the recipe.
Ingredients:
Cereal- 4 cups (based on how much u want to make at one time)
I used a mixture of honey bunches of oats, cheerios & rice krispies.
Nuts- cashews, peanuts, raisins, almonds, etc (per ur choice)
Curry leaves- 2 strings
Asafoetida- 2 tbsp
Mustard seeds-1 tsp
chilly powder & salt to taste
oil- 1 tbsp

Method:
Heat oil in a wok, and temper with mustard seeds. Then add the curry leaves, asafoetida, salt, chilly powder & the nuts and roast the nuts slightly. Now add the cereals and mix it thoroughly until it gets coated with the spices. Adjust the salt, Chilly powder & asafoetida per ur taste.( I added more asafoetida in mine to get the south indian mixture taste)....let it cool down and then store it in an airtight container. A quick healthy snack is ready....enjoy!
