    Mixture is one of the popular South indian snacks we can make easily at home. Mixture recipe with detailed explanation for easy understanding and reference.

    Mixture is my fav snack….I love to mix it with curd and eat. I didn’t have any plans to try mixture recipe but my sis encouraged me to make mixture at home saying that it is very easy just to mix up all the ingredients once they are ready. So when I made boondi I planned to make mixture as well and here it is for you.

    Ingredients

    • 1 cup Kara Boondi
    • 1 cup Omapodi
    • 1/4 cup poha
    • 1/4 cup fried gram dal
    • 3 tbsp cashewnuts
    • a handful peanuts
    • a handful curry leaves
    • 1 tsp red chilli powder
    • a pinch hing
    • salt to taste

    Other optional ingredients:

    • Ribbon Pakoda
    • Mullu Murukku
    • Thattai

    Instructions

    • I made boondi and ompodi a day ahead to save time. Make all the ingredients ready - Deep fry peanuts and curry leaves until crisp, drain in a tissue and set aside.
    • Then fry poha, gram dhal each separately until crisp. You can add a pinch of salt, hing while frying but it is purely optional.
    • Then fry the cashews. Drain the excess oil in a tissue, set aside.
    • Take a newspaper / butter paper transfer all the ingredients.
    • Add red chilli powder / pepper powder and give a quick mix. If you are adding ribbon pakoda, mullu murukku and thattai just crush them with your hands before adding. You can even transfer this to an airtight container and give a quick shake for it to mix evenly.
    • Your homemade south indian style flavourful mixture is ready!!

    Notes

    • There is no accurate measures for mixture recipe, its just plus or minus the ingredients as we would prefer so be generous in adding more whichever you like it.
    • You can even crush garlic and fry it in oil and add it to the mixture for a garlic flavor.
    • You can skip salt as well as all the fried items already has salt in it.
    • You can additionally add cornflakes and other nuts too.
    • If you like pepper flavor skip red chilli powder and add pepper.

      You make this sound so easy and the pictures are so tempting 🙂 I have always been a lurker here but these pictures are too tempting that I had to comment.

      I always thought making mixture from scratch was hard work but I just love how simple it seems from your pictures. And the picture of your kid helping you is just adorable! Makes me dream of doing something like this when my son is older 🙂
