- The cashewnuts can be halved or quarted as well.
- Chop & keep the dry copra flakes aside.
- In a small bowl, mix turmeric powder, red chilli powder, sugar & salt. Keep aside.
- In a kadai, deep fry the makai pova in batches keeping the oil at smoking point .
- Take the makai pova in a large bowl & immediately mix the powders when the pova is warm to touch. All the pova should be coated by the powder-mixture.
- In an another kadai, heat about 2 tablespoons of cooking oil & roast mustard seeds, curry leaves, copra flakes,peanuts, cashewnuts, hurigadale in the same order; one after the other. There is no need to roast them separately.
- Add the roasted pova to the mixture & lightly turn over in the kadai.
- Once everything gets mixed well; roast the golden raisins with a little oil in a separate kadai - till they puff up & add to the above mixture.
- Mix everything throughly once again & allow it to cool down to room temperature.
- Store in an air tight container. Stays good for a month.
