If you can use Chex in a savory snack mix, why not Rice Krispies, too? This Indian chivra is lightly spiced with curry powder, and has that whole salty-sweet flavor sensation going on. It sounds a bit odd, but that's just 'cause it's unfamiliar.
Trust me - this crunchy snack is addictive!
Chivra (Indian Snack Mix)
3 cups Rice Krispies
2 cups chow mein noodles
3/4 cup honey-roasted peanuts
1/4 cup light oil
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 teaspoon garam masala
generous pinch of kosher salt
generous sprinkle of cayenne pepper, or more to taste
3/4 cup raisins
Preheat oven to 400F.
In a large bowl, combine Rice Krispies, chow mein noodles, peanuts, and vermicelli.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat oil with curry powder, garam masala, salt, and cayenne pepper just until warm; mix well. Pour over dry ingredients and mix well. Pour onto a baking sheet
Bake for 10 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Let cool, then serve.
Makes about 7 cups of chivra.
sounds delicious! Might have to make this during the football season. BTW, I kept meaning to leave a comment on your Facebook page about the fantastic job you did updating your fans about the water situation in Toledo. You were ALL OVER IT!!
