Chivda (Indian Snack Mix)

Directions

1. Preheat an oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Place lentils in a single layer on a sheet tray and roast until dry and crispy, roughly 10-15 minutes. Be sure to toss at least once halfway through.
3. Transfer lentils to a large mixing bowl. Add corn flakes, peanuts, and cashews and set aside.
4. Heat oil in a sauté pan and once hot, add raisins and fry for 1 minute until they have plumped. Remove from pan and add to the lentils and nuts.
5. Lower heat to medium-low and fry curry and mint leaves for 1 minute. Add garlic, turmeric, and paprika and stir.
6. Add spice mixture to the lentil blend. Add salt and maple syrup and mix well with a spatula. Enjoy either warm or room temp.
