Steps

1

First, dry roast all the whole spices in a pan. Grind them into a powder, then transfer to a small bowl. Add hot oil, mix well, and set aside.
2

Heat oil in a pan. Fry the peanuts until lightly golden, then remove to a plate.
3

Fry the coconut slices and raisins separately and set aside.
4

Place the poha in a strainer and dry roast it over low heat in a heavy-bottomed pan until it becomes crisp (about 6-8 minutes). Be careful not to let it burn.
5

Now add the roasted poha to the spice mixture and mix well.
6

Add the peanuts, almonds, coconut, raisins, and salt. If you like a slightly sweet taste, add the sugar as well.
7

In another pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add the mustard seeds and let them crackle, then add the curry leaves and let them sizzle. Mix this into the poha mixture.
8

Let the mixture cool completely, then store in an airtight container.
