Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly crush the coriander seeds and cumin seeds using a mortar and pestle or the back of a spoon.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the rye flakes, jumbo oat flakes, barley flakes, and wheat flakes.
  4. Add the peanut kernels to the bowl with the grains.
  5. In a small cup, whisk together the sesame oil, peanut oil, soy sauce, water, garam masala, turmeric, crushed coriander, crushed cumin, a good grinding of black pepper, and a pinch of sea salt until emulsified.
  6. Pour the spice-oil mixture over the grain and nut mixture.
  7. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated.
  8. Spread the mixture in a single layer onto two baking trays.
  9. Bake for 40 minutes, stirring occasionally and swapping tray positions halfway through to ensure even browning.
  10. Remove from the oven when golden and crisp.
  11. Allow the crunch mix to cool completely in the pan before transferring to an airtight jar for storage.
