Cornflakes Mixture Recipe / Cornflakes Chivda Recipe with step by step pictures. This is a light, crispy snack, apt for the last minute Diwali preparation. Unlike Madras Mixture, this one doesn’t call for lengthy work. Just a cup of cornflakes, peanuts, fried gram tossed up with chilli powder and salt, that’s the recipe. If you don’t want a deep-fried version, then go ahead with shallow fry or even bake the cornflakes (I have shared the method in the TIPS section), which is a 100% guilt-free snack. Also, if you don’t have raw cornflakes, you can use Kellogs but not flavoured ones, where no frying is also needed.
