Chivra (Indian Snack Mix)

• 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
• 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon mango powder (amchur)

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.
6. Store in an airtight container.
