Instructions
In a pan, heat the coconut oil. When it is hot, reduce the heat to low and add the curry leaves, roasted gram, and peanuts. Roast it for 30 seconds.
Then add the chaat masala and turmeric powder and mix.
Fry for 30 seconds and then add the puffed rice. Gently stir to coat the masala evenly. Then add the salt.
Now roast it over low (on the number scale I have it at 3) heat for 3 to 4 minutes.
After two to three minutes, try tasting the puffed rice and if its crispy turn off the heat, if not roast for a couple more minutes.
Allow it cool for a bit and store it in an air-tight container. Serve it with tea or coffee or relish it as a snack to curb that hunger pangs.

You can use your favorite combination of spices as mentioned above.
Make sure you are roasting the puffed rice on low flame to avoid the burning. Also, do not cook for more than five/six minutes.
