FOR THE SEASONING
1 Tablespoon oil
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 teaspoon red chili powder

Salt per taste
Directions:
- Warm up the oil in a pan. Add curry leaves. They will start to sizzle and crisp up in a few minutes.
- Add fennel seeds, sesame seeds and raisins. Keep stirring on low flame for 5 minutes so everything toasts up and the raisins swell and puff up.
- Then add turmeric powder, red chili powder and lemon or lime juice. Mix well. Add rest of the ingredients and mix well again.
- Continue to stir for 8-10 minutes on low heat.
- Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool down completely.
- Transfer the mix to an air-tight container and enjoy it as a snack anytime you want!
Tips:
- You can store the mix in an air-tight container for upto 2 weeks.
- Make sure you make this recipe on low to medium flame since the ingredients can burn quickly.
- Always keep stirring, to allow the ingredients to roast nicely.
