Hi! i tried this mixture. Amazing and time saving!
I tried this at home & it is a winner!! I only added one thing extra i.e. Garam Masala.
Thanks Padhu!
When I make it mixture looks very oily…can I tried this receipe n oven..
If the oil is not hot enough, it will absorb oil. Oil should be at right temperature. You can use a paper towel to drain excess oil . You can bake in oven. Raisins alone you add separately.
If baked what temperature and how long do you recommend? Thanks
Any corn flakes can be used?
Yes, you can.
Should the sugar be crushed before adding ?
Not necessary.
