    I have tasted cornflakes mixture only few times. .Once I have tasted haldirams cornflakes mixture, I love the khatta meeta mixture variety too. Today morning I had a sudden thought why not try baking cornflakes mixture in oven, so that we can munch it guilt-free. Check madras mixture recipe if you are interested to try that.

    Expert Tips

    • Baking time varies for each oven so be careful while baking. Stand beside and bake it stirring every now and then as it gets easily burnt. Yes experience speaks I burnt my first batch then started over again with fresh cornflakes for clicking.
    • Adding sugar is purely optional.
    • If you like garlic flavor just add 1 crushed garlic along with the curry leaves.
    • You can even add 1/4 cup poha bake it the same way and use it.
    • Raisins give a nice crunch while eating so don’t skip it.
    • If you have more cornflakes bake them in 2-3 batches.
    • You can even pan fry all the ingredients but baking gives extra crispiness.
    • This keeps well even for 2 weeks when stored in airtight container.

    Serving and Storage

    Cornflakes Mixture can be served with coffee or tea. This keeps well in room temperature for 2 weeks.

      Mixture looks very crispy and inviting. I'd say even better than Haldiram's.

        Did you use the dry cornflakes which is meant for frying then that should work fine…but again check ur oven settings n timing as I always say each oven is different.
