For this Diwali I wanted to give recipes which are less than 20 minutes, primarily because for 2 groups of people – the working women where the festival time starts only on the actual day and for mommies in Singapore who are stuck with primary annual exams this week. It includes me as well J.  I didn’t want to make dishes which takes beyond 10 minutes and wrap up my shoot & blog writing before my girl comes back from school. In a way it is good, as I was able to prepare innovate dishes under this category.

Coming back to the dish, the mixture is prepared with very less oil and weet bix is absolutely guilt free. This is ideal for people with diabetes, cholesterol and weight watchers.If you are in India you may refer to this amazon link with varied varieties of weetbix  . If you are in Singapore, this is available in many super markets.

Notes

è Weet bix must be crushed roughly only. It should not be powdered. If powdered, it would then get burnt very quickly.

è Adjust the chili powder taste. You may wish to add chat masala about ½ tsp.

è You may add cashews and raisins. Taste, cooking time and oil consumption must be adjusted accordingly.
