1
Pour oil into a deep frying pan or wok and heat it until very hot, taking a couple of minutes to reach the right temperature.
2
Divide the peanuts into batches and place them in a fine sieve. Lower the sieve into the hot oil and fry until they turn golden brown. This method keeps the oil clean and makes retrieval easy.
3
Fry the flattened rice in several batches for just a few seconds each, as they puff up quickly. Fry until they float to the surface and become crispy.
4
Using the same sieve method, fry the cashews in batches until they turn golden.
5
Make a careful slit along each green chili to prevent them from bursting in the oil. Place them in the sieve and fry until crispy.
6
Turn off the heat. While the oil is still hot, transfer all the fried ingredients into a large bowl. Add the turmeric powder, salt, and sugar, and mix everything thoroughly.
7
Let the mixture cool on kitchen paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Serve once completely cooled, or store in an airtight container for later.
