Mom's low fat chevdo (snack mix)

This is my mom's version of her snack mix or as gujaratis call it "Chevdo". Traditionally made by deep frying lentils (moong and chana daal), poha (flattened rice) and adding spices and roasted nuts to it. The deep frying method causes it to be really high in calories and so instead my mom sautees different types of cereals to make her low fat version.

Ingredients:
1 cup of Barbara's honest O multi grain cereal
3 cups of Erewhon crispy brown rice whole grain cereal
1 cup of Gorilla munch
2 cups of Erehon rice flakes
3 cups of Nature's Path rice puffs
1 cup of Nature's Path kamut puffs
2 tablespoons of oil
2 teaspoons of salt
2 teaspoons of tumeric
 (you can add 2 teaspoons of chilli and/or sugar each if you want to get the traditional taste. Also add 1/4 teaspoon of mustard seeds to the oil and a few curry leaves. I don't add these since my kids like it pretty simple.)

1) Add all the cereal to a mixing bowl

2) Heat oil in a pot (low heat) and add the salt and tumeric. If you were going to add the other spices then you would add the mustard seeds first to the oil and let them pop (medium heat then turn to low) and then add the rest of the spices.
3) Add all the cereal in the mixing bowl slowly, taking care to coat the cereal with the spice mixture and oil. Make sure the heat is on low all throughout so that you don't burn the cereal. You just want enough heat to coat the cereal with the oil and spice mixture.

You can add this snack mix/chevdo to soups instead of croutons/crackers.  You can also add it to any traditional curry that you would normal eat with rice. This makes a good substitute for rice when eating curry. I also like to eat it with a little bit of plain yogurt and some hot sauce. My kids eat it just like this as a snack.
