Sweet and savoury nutty mixture

This recipe was shared by my neighbour and friend, Mrs.Sumangala, at Muscat. Indians are no strangers to 'mixture'. As the name suggests 'mixture' is a sweet or savory, or sometimes both, mix of an assortment of deep fried items.They are favourite tea time snacks.
All purpose flour - 200gms

Assorted nuts (cashews, peanuts, almonds, pine nuts) - 200gms

Beaten rice flakes (aval) - 200gms

Fresh Curry leaves - 100 gms

Sugar - 15 gms

Red chilli powder (cayenne pepper) - 5 gms

Asafoetida (perumkayam) - 1/2 teaspoon

Salt to taste

Oil for deep frying

Add sugar to the all purpose flour and knead it into a dough (as you would for chappathis/tortillas).Shape balls out of the mixture and roll them out into thin chappathis (tortillas). With a sharp knife make criss cross lines both lengthwise and widthwise on each of chappathi, so that you get tiny diamond shapped patterns that can be guaged out. Deep fry these diamond cuts and place on kitchen tissue to drain the extra oil.
In the same oil, fry the assorted nuts. Remove and drain. Add the beaten rice flakes and repeat the process. Be careful with the rice flakes since they burn easily.
Fry the curry leaves in oil and drain.
In a deep pan mix all the ingredients together, add the chilli powder , salt, and asafoetida and toss. Store in airtight containers.
