Mixture is my dad's favorite and now my in-laws favourite too. It is a must for Diwali and my mom never fails to make it. She is perfect and she is the best cook I know in whatever she cooks. I have followed or atleast tried to follow my moms footsteps when it comes to cooking certain food
This mixture is such an addiction that I had to make it too in my kitchen. Evr since I have had a kitchen of my own, I have been making this every Diwali. It tastes great with a subtle touch of spice unlike the store bought ones which I feel like are loaded with too much stuff. Keeping it simple and tasty is the mantra here

- Do the same with Peanuts, Poha/Aval, Curry leaves, Cashews and pottu kadalai
- Roast Pori / Puffed rice on low flame in a separate pan
- In a separate small pan add little oil. Add finely chopped green chillies to it and fry till brown and crisp
- Put everything except ompodi and boondi into a large box with lid. Sprinkle some salt and red chilli powder on it. Shake it around so that the spices are evenly coated
- Add the ompodi to the box and give another shake
- Serve your guests and enjoy
- Use little oil for frying and top it up if needed
- Adjust salt and chilli powder to suit your taste
- Adding green chillies add up to the taste. Its ok to skip if kids want to enjoy the mixture
