Instructions
Heat a large nonstick pan or wok over medium heat and add the ghee or coconut oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Sauté for 30 seconds or until the seeds start to pop.
If using curry leaves, add them to the pan and sauté for 10-15 seconds until aromatic.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the turmeric, red chili powder, and chaat masala. Mix well to combine the spices with the oil.
Add the almonds, cashews, and pumpkin seeds to the pan. Stir continuously for 5-7 minutes until the nuts are golden and toasted.
Add the coconut flakes and crushed peanuts to the mix. Stir for another 2-3 minutes until the coconut flakes are lightly toasted and crisp.
Sprinkle the salt evenly over the mixture, tossing well to ensure everything is coated in the spices.
Remove the pan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool completely in the pan before transferring to an airtight container.
Store the Chevda Snack Mix at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy as a low-carb snack suitable for any time of the day!
