Cornflakes mixture or Cornflakes chivda is a non deep fried spicy and sweet snack made with ready to eat cornflakes. Yes this non deep fried! You can use the regular makai or chivda making cornflakes available in store too to make this mixture recipe. Since I had lot of cornflakes at home I made use of those to make this mixture. When you use this cornflakes you need bit of frying in oil but in my earlier experience the snacks becomes too greasy as the cornflakes drinks lot of oil which I dint like about the snacks, so always make it in non deep fried version using microwave. Heating the cornflakes in microwave for a minute yields crisp texture and roasted flavor to the cornflakes which makes the mixture more yummy. So try making this hassle free and yummy snacks for this diwali. So lets get to the making!
