Heat a wok adding cooking oil, as oil gets heated up add thick rice flakes. Poha starts sizzling, as the shhh sound ceases remove poha from oil using slotted ladle. Transfer them on tissue, so that extra oil is drained off.

Now add groundnuts to the hot oil, fry them till the nuts turn slightly brown. Remove them using slotted ladle and drain on tissue paper.

Next fry roasted gram for few seconds. Do not let them change color. Subsequently fry cashews till they turn slightly brown. Then fry curry leaves till they turn crisp.

In large bowl first add deep fried thick flakes,ground nut, roasted gram, cashews, plain sev and curry leaves. Include turmeric powder, red chilli powder and salt too. With your hands combine all the ingredients together so that spices get coated on to poha.

I had spread thus prepared aval mixture on a paper for few minutes and drained excess oil.

Aval mixture is ready. Prepare this Diwali snack and enjoy with tea.

Before frying aval, make sure it is clean without any husk.

You can add ground nuts, roasted gram etc as per your preferences.

Store the mixture in air tight container. It can stay fresh for more than a week.
