Roast fox nuts in 1/2 tbsp ghee on a medium flame till crispy and keep it aside. Take the remaining ghee in a slightly deep dish. On a medium flame, add peanuts, and curry leaves, and roast for a while. Add raisins, and the rest of the spices, and stir it for a few seconds. Add fox nuts, mix everything well, and switch off the flame. Your super healthy crunchy snack is ready. You can also store it in an air-tight glass container, though it's better to consume it in a max couple of days' time otherwise these fox nuts tend to become soft and chewy.
