Granola

A simple treat for children is making granola using different seeds, cashews,almonds, raisins and few sweetners.

I followed a very simple method to make granola.

The ingredients used  are all easily accessible and available at home.


Ingredients

Step 1

2 cups assorted melon, flax seeds
1 cup rolled oats/ museli
10 broken cashew nuts
20 raisins
1/4 cup white/black sesame seeds

Step 2 

2 tablespoon of sugar
1tablespoon of honey
1 tablespoon of olive oil/coconut oil
5 crushed cardamoms


Method

In a kadai slow roast all ingredients by adding coconut oIl.

Once they release Aroma add sugar, honey and crushed cardamoms. Mix well.

Trasfer in a microwaveable bowl, further cook for 2: minutes. Open the microwave, mix well, cook for 1/2 a minute more. 

Allow it to completely cool and then cut into desired shape. I crumbled it and put it in a clean glass jar.


Tips

I have added very less sugar as we have used raisins and mixed fruit museli.

You can add a few thinly striped dates if you like.

Always keep the flame very low while roasting the delicate seeds. Sesame seeds are added towards the end. As it may pop up when heated.
