Savory Whole Wheat Flake Mix - Chivda
This is a kind of "chivda" (savory Indian mix) that can be eaten as a snack between meals, served with drinks or along with appetizers. Different kinds of chivda are served during all festivals and celebrations in the state of Maharashtra and all over India. It can be made with flatten rice, corn flakes, puffed rice, lentils, etc. that are mixed with all kind of nuts, seeds and spices. You can make it as sweet, sour, salty or spicy as you like. I tried making it with whole wheat flakes (Kellogg's Special K) and while my hubby was a bit skeptical of this idea in the beginning, we ended up liking it very much.
