Footnotes:
Weet bix must be crushed roughly only. It should not be powdered. If powdered, it would then get burnt very quickly.
Adjust the chili powder taste. You may wish to add chat masala about ½ tsp.
You may add cashews and raisins. Taste, cooking time and oil consumption must be adjusted accordingly.
Use only plain weet bix cereal
