                     1 cup/ 1 pav of peanuts/ groundnuts.
                     1/4 cup of roasted gram/ hurigadale/ pottukadale.
                     1/4 cup of dry coconut/copra flakes.
                     10-15 cashewnuts.
                     25-30 golden raisins.
                     4- 5 sticks of fresh curry leaves.
                     2 tsp of mustard seeds.
                     1 tsp of turmeric powder/haldi.
                     2 tbsp of red chilli powder.
                     2 tbsp of sugar.
                     2 tbsp of table salt.
                     4 tbsp of cooking oil.

Procedure-


  • Start making the mixture by measuring the required amount of ingredients & keep everything ready.
  • We need to lightly dry roast the required amount of peanuts & de-skin them. You can make them into halves as well.
  • 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.
