Crispy Kashmiri spiced puffed rice – an aromatic, energy-giving snack that's quick to make!

First, check the crispness of your puffed rice. If it feels slightly soft, dry roast it in a large, heavy-bottomed pan (kadai) on low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously until it's light and crunchy. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and set aside.
In the same pan, heat the mustard oil on medium-high heat. Allow it to heat until it just begins to smoke lightly, which takes about 1-2 minutes. This step is crucial to mellow its pungent flavor.
Immediately reduce the heat to low. Carefully add the chopped walnuts and almonds to the hot oil. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until they turn a light golden brown and become fragrant. Do not let them burn.
Keeping the heat on the lowest setting, add the asafoetida, turmeric powder, Kashmiri red chili powder, fennel powder, and dry ginger powder. Stir the spices into the oil and nuts for just 20-30 seconds until they release their aroma. This quick 'tempering' prevents them from burning.
Turn off the heat completely. Immediately pour the entire spiced oil and nut mixture over the puffed rice in the mixing bowl. Sprinkle the salt over the top.
Using a large spatula or two spoons, gently but thoroughly toss everything together. Ensure every grain of puffed rice is evenly coated with the vibrant yellow spice mix.
Spread the mixture on a large tray or plate and let it cool completely to room temperature. It will become perfectly crisp as it cools. Once cooled, transfer it to a clean, dry, airtight container to store.
