Notes
- Roasting – I always check puffed rice before using it. If it feels soft I roast it in pan for few minutes so it becomes crisp again.
- Frying ingredients – I fry the peanuts, raisins and nuts in oil. It helps ingredients cook and release its full flavour.
- Adjust spice – I add extra chillies for spicier taste. If making for children reduce chilli powder and green chillies.
- Mixing – I just mix the fried ingredients well with puffed rice. This helps spices coat puffed rice more evenly.
- Cooling – I cool the mix completely before storing. If stored while warm it loses the crisp texture.
