I've made this twice & it was love by all. The 2nd time I used corn chexs & corn flakes because I thought the rice krispies made it hard & messy to eat.

I added what I had at home. I used corn flakes, rice krispies, rice chex, and shredded wheat (I crushed, Added shoestring potato chips, and lays potato chips (I crushed, Added roasted peanuts, and raisins. Than I tempered by adding several tablespoons of canola oil, mustard seeds, fennel seeds,I used dry whole red chillies so chewda stays longer, and curry leaves. I put that oil mixture on top of mixed cereal and than I sprinkled several tablespoons of turmic powder, red chilli powder, sugar,and salt as needed, on top of chewda. Later, I took out the dry whole red chillies. Than I mixed it well. It is so good, it gives that salty and sweet and crunchy taste with each bite.

Okay, so I have always loved the Indian snack food I get from my local Indian store. Don't know why I never thought to make my own snacks- DUH!!! Thanks Aarti! You inspired me to make Chivda or Chewda.I love curry leaves, and my store pulled a box fresh off the truck for me. I bought a bunch of them and probably used like 30 in this recipe! I did add some garam masala to the mix as well as a little sugar. Used rice chex as well as corn flakes and an assortment of nuts I had on hand. Didn't think the plantain chips really added anything for me, so I will leave them out next time. Found a recipe for the chickpea flour "noodles" so will make those to add from now on. Three of us devoured the big bowl in a few hours. I know what I am bringing to Super Sunday. I sent a small snack bag of what was left to work with the hubby. He gave some to his Indian co-workers and they all said it was really good and authentic! Now that's a compliment!

I love how simple this was to make and I was even able to find the curry leaves at a local international market (yes, even in my small town. This is a perfect blend of sweet, salty, and spicy. I will be making a large bowl to take to a 40th birthday party.
