Granola need not be made only with oats and western favourite nuts and seeds. In Indian cuisine, we have an amazing variety of superfoods, nuts and seeds which can be made into delicious granola in both grain and dust or powder form. In my new Self Invented recipe, I have used makhana, almonds, raisins, magaj beej, and Jaggery to come up with a delicious Granola recipe. It's gluten-free, and super healthy. Enjoy!
