Steps to Make All-in-One Mix:
Prepare the ingredients:
Fry the peanuts: Heat oil in a pan and fry the peanuts until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Fry sabudana: Fry sabudana in hot oil until they puff up. Drain on paper towels.
Roast chana dal and moong dal: Roast separately until they are crispy.
Combine the mix:
In a large mixing bowl, combine sev, chivda, nylon sev, peanuts, cashews, roasted chana dal, fried moong dal, puffed rice, and sabudana.
Season the mix:
Heat a small amount of oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and curry leaves. Let them splutter.
Add hing and the other spices: red chili powder, turmeric powder, chaat masala, black salt, sugar, and salt.
Stir well and cook for a minute to let the spices release their flavors.
Mix and cool:
Pour the seasoned oil and spice mixture over the combined dry ingredients. Toss well to ensure even coating.
Allow the mix to cool completely. It will become crispier as it cools.
Store:
Once cooled, store the all-in-one mix in an airtight container to maintain its crunchiness.
Tips:
Oil Temperature: Make sure the oil is hot enough for frying but not smoking to avoid soggy ingredients.
Adjust Spices: Feel free to adjust the spices to your taste preference, adding more or less chili powder, salt, or sugar as desired.
Storage: Proper storage is crucial to keep the mix crispy. Ensure it’s in an airtight container and kept in a cool, dry place.
