Author: Nisha Vedi Pawar
Recipe type: Snacks
Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 8 cups
- 5 cups corn Chex
- 2 cups mixed nuts (I used pre salted)
- 1 cup pretzel sticks
- 2 teaspoon cooking oil for tempering
- 10-15 curry leaves (kadi pata)
- 3-4 green chilies sliced diagonally
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- ½ teaspoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
- ¼ teaspoon asafoetida (hing)
- 2 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
- Mix corn Chex, pretzels and mixed nuts in a large heat proof bowl.
- Heat a deep pan with oil. Once hot fry the curry leaves and green chilies, remove with a fine mesh sieve ladle and drain on a paper towel.
- In the same pan add the cumin and mustard seeds. When they sputter add turmeric powder, asafoetida, red chili powder, sugar and salt.
- Remove from heat as the spices begin to bubble and pour over the corn Chex, pretzels and mixed nuts.
- Add in fried curry leaves and green chilies. Toss generously, coating all pieces and spread evenly on a baking sheet.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 15 minutes, mixing to ensure nothing burns.
- Allow to cool then store into an air-tight container. Serve your Masala Chex Mix with tea or as a quick snack.
