How I did:

• Heat oil in a deep shallow pan on medium high flame, add mustard seeds, cumin seeds, urad dal, red chillies, peanuts, garlic cloves.
• When peanuts and garlic are well fried, add roasted chana dal, curry leaves, salt, turmeric powder, coriander powder and red chilli powder.
• Combine all the ingredients and mix puffed rice.
• Stir well so that the puffed rice is evenly coated with the powders and fry for two more minutes.
• Combine Sev.
• Store in an air tight container until served.
