Cornflakes Chivda, CornFlakes Namkeen Mixture, How to make cornflakes namkeen mixture

Cornflakes chivda also is known as cornflakes mixture or namkeen is a perfect munch as a snack on a regular day.
These dry snacks or namkeen have always been an integral part of Indian Kitchens and food. North Indian snacks and south Indian snacks, both are quite similar the only difference mostly is spices used in making these crispy snacks. This is a healthy namkeen recipe because I made this snack without deep frying.
