Cornflakes Mixture Recipe | Cornflakes Chiwda | Makai Poha Chivda with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Chiwda or sev mixture recipes are one of the popular and sought-after munching snacks. These are typically prepared with deep-fried besan sev noodles along with other condiments, thus making a lip-smacking snack. However, the same chiwda recipes can also be prepared with other ingredients and one such popular hero ingredient is corn flakes or also known as makai poha chivda.
I am a huge fan of munching snacks and I always keep a stash of it for my evening time. However, I typically prepare besan sev-based chiwda mixture, but I always look for other options. One such simple and exciting option is cornflakes chivda where crisp corn kernels are deep-fried and mixed with other mixture ingredients. This is not only easy and quick to prepare, but also a healthy alternative. Having said that, this is not the typical cornflakes used for breakfast. I have particularly got this from an Indian grocery and it is known as makai poha. Basically, it is crispier and thin in texture and expands like a pappad when deep fried. You may use breakfast-based cornflakes but you may not get the same taste and texture. Do try this snack and let me know if you liked it.
