Cornflakes Chivda

A sweet and spicy snack with crunchy cornflakes and roasted nuts, will makes you to munch on and on and on. I should say it is a healthy and scrumptious snack that can be prepared in just 20 minutes and will be loved by kids and adults, alike.

The first time i made it was when i had some cornflakes which was near to the expiry date. And it was a big hit but the quantity was very less. Then every time i bring cornflakes mainly to make this chivda/mixture. My little one loves it, she takes it in her bowl and sit on sofa to munch on 😍, sometimes shares with her dad too ❤❤

We love it sweet & little spicy, so i added chili powder and sugar according to my family liking. So you can play with the measurements according to your taste buds.
