 I  want to give some tips to make this diet mixture at home

* Times varies based on the microwave and different ingredients, so you adjust your time according microwave and ingredients. i have given just  an idea that i used.

* When you microwave, make sure everything comes out crispy. Otherwise the whole mixture will become soggy in a day or two.

* Dry fruit, raisin and sugar can be added depending on your choice.

* Check its crunchiness by tasting it and then add to the mixture.

* If u don’t want to go for microwave option,u can either use deep frying or baking in convection mode.For baking in convection mode,preheat oven in 180c for 10 minutes.Then spread the cornflakes and bake for 4 minutes.Make sure u mix it once in awhile and also it should not be burnt.Keep an eye after 2 minutes.

* If u don’t want to microwave Murmure or puffed rice,cashews and peanuts. you can roast them in little oil or ghee and add to mixture.But make sure everything is crispy

* According your choice you can add poha or gram dal

* Check for taste. Store in a airtight container. It stays crispy for more than a week
