How to Make Baked Granola Chewra

• Bake the rolled oats in oven for 10 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• When cool, mix the oats, and other ingredients in section 2 in a large mixing bowl.
• Separately in the oil, on low heat, fry the curry leaves, ginger, chilli powder and hing.
• Then add brown sugar and salt and stir over heat till it melts and tiny bubbles start to appear. Turn off heat.
• Very carefully pour the hot mixture in a thin stream over the dry ingredients in the bowl, while simultaneously stirring.
• If the mixture is too wet and you want a drier chewra, quickly add more rice crispies and stir.
• Place the mixture on a greased baking tray and put into the warm oven for 10 minutes to make it crisp.
• Allow to cool to room temperature before putting away in air tight container.
