Spiced Corn Flakes - an Instant Snack

Day's roll on so fast. I have Lot's of work coming by, in two day's. I wanted to post and mark my presence here before that. Today My Son's school re-opened after Christmas Holiday's, and life turns organised for me now again. Here in Chennai, Street Side Soup Stall's are becoming Famous. Once I tried Vegetable soup in a stall nearby and loved these spiced cornflakes topping's on it. It gave a nice crunch to the hot soup along. so when i prepared vegetable soup today, i definitely needed these spiced cornflakes.

Spiced Corn Flakes

Ingredients:

Cornflakes - 1 cup
Ghee - 1/2 tsp
Curry Leaves - 4
Chilli Powder - 1/4 tsp
Peanuts - 1 tsp
Salt - a pinch

Method:

Heat the Ghee in a Pan, add peanuts and roast it, till it turns into golden colour. slow the flame. Now add curry leaves and roast it. add chilli powder and salt and mix well.

Now toss the cornflakes with spices from the pan. toss it well.

Store it in an air-tight container.

You can add this to soup's. also you can have these spiced cornflakes with sambhar rice or rasam rice.

This is a very quick post. In my Next post, i will share the vegetable soup i prepared, to which i added these cornflakes.

Did I tell u my New Year Resolution's,

1. Try to do all your work, without expecting other hand's. (This mean's don't expect from maid..This decision came after she went on leave for 45 day's)

2. Eat more Fruit's and Vegetable's and boost Immunity.

3. Walk for 20 minute's a day.

4. Use less Sugar, Maida and Oil for cooking. ( this was my last year's resolution too)

5. Try to blog more healthy recipe's.

6. Improve Photography skill's.

this is what i have decided till now:)
