South Indian Mixture / Madras Mixture / Diwali Mixture

Mixture is nothing but a mix of deep fried snacks like Kara BoondiOmapodi , Kara Sev  along with fried Peanuts, cashews & Poha. This is the simple South Indian Mixture, to this You can also add Maida Biscuits , fried Chana Dal and for a sweet touch raisins, sugar or sweet boondi also added. Today am sharing the simple & Basic South Indian Style Mixture / Madras Mixture. This is popularly made during Diwali time. We too make this mixture in a tall bucket to share it with our relatives, friends and neighbors on Diwali day. Mixture is one of my favorite childhood snack. More than a snack I love this mixture as a side dish. I can even have Thanni sadham(cooked rice with water n salt) with some mixture. I love the sweet biscuits/Maida biscuits in the mixture. So I reserved 1/4 cup Maida Biscuits to add in the mixture :)
