Notes
We have added brown sugar, but you can also use jaggery powder or powdered rock sugar (mishri).
You can vary the proportion of nuts, seeds and dried fruits as per your choice.
We have roasted everything on stovetop but can even roast this in oven/convection. Mix all the ingredients except dried fruits and brown sugar and bake at 120-130 degrees for 15-20 minutes, stirring in between. After 15-20 minutes, add dried fruits, mix and again bake for 5 minutes.
Once done, add brown sugar, mix and let it come to room temperature.
