Step 4: Add a handful of Makai (corn) flakes at a time and deep fry them until golden, crisp and puffed up
Step 5: It takes just a few seconds to deep fry these flakes
Step 6: They are similar to papads
Step 7: Once you have deep fried the Makai (corn) flakes, drain them on kitchen paper towels and keep aside
Step 8: In the same oil, place the poha in a steel colander and deep fry the poha by dipping the colander in the oil

Step 13: Once done drain and keep aside
Step 14: Finally deep fry the curry leaves and raisins in hot oil placed in the colander
Step 15: Once crisp and raisins have puffed up, remove from oil and place on the paper towel to drain
Step 16: Place all the fried ingredients in a wide mixing bowl or a flat baking sheet
Step 17: Sprinkle the salt, red chili powder, sugar and asafoetida powder and stir to combine well with your hands
Step 18: Do this when all the ingredients are hot, so the spices and salts get well combined into them
Step 19: Check the spice and salt levels and adjust to suit your taste
Step 20: Once done, cool and store the Corn Flakes Mixture in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks
