Corn Or Rice Flakes - Chivda

In my kitchen pantry..there is a box full of plain corn flakes. Bored to have the plain ones..Then i got an idea why dont i try making chivda using these instead of rice flakes(poha).

Who doesn't love snacks? The crunchier, the better.
I make a roasted low fat version, too.
