- In the same pan, add the peanuts, cashews, and almonds. Cook until they turn golden brown. Remove and set aside.
- Fry the green chillies and curry leaves in the same pan until crispy, then set them aside.
- Add the raisins to the hot oil and fry them until they puff up. Remove and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the fried ingredients. Add salt, red chilli powder, chaat masala, and caster sugar. Mix well to evenly coat everything.
- Let the mixture cool, then serve.
