2 cups Puffed Rice Swap with crispy roasted chickpeas for added protein.
1 cup Doritos (Spicy/Chili Heatwave) Use plain tortilla chips for a milder option.

For the Heartiness

1 cup Chopped Potatoes Deep Fried or Sautéed; sweet potatoes are a healthier alternative.
1/2 cup Tinned Sweet Corn Fresh or frozen corn can work just as well.

For the Veggie Medley

1/2 cup Red Onion Chopped; green onion is a great milder substitute.
1 cup Tomato Adds juiciness; diced bell peppers work for a no-juice version.

Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of puffed rice and 1 cup of crushed Doritos. Mix evenly to achieve the delightful crunch.
Fold in 1 cup of chopped boiled potatoes, 1/2 cup of diced red onion, and 1 cup of diced tomato. Mix gently to avoid mashing the potatoes.
Add 1/2 cup of tinned sweet corn and 1/2 cup each of finely chopped red and green peppers. Stir gently for even distribution.
Mix in 1/2 cup of pomegranate seeds and 1 cup of chopped mango. Gently fold them to ensure they're spread throughout.
Add finely chopped chilies and 1/2 cup of chopped jalapeños along with 1/4 cup of chopped spring onions. Toss carefully to maintain crunchiness.
Drizzle with juice of 1 lime and a pinch of salt. Gently combine all ingredients ensuring they are coated.
Serve immediately on a large platter or in individual bowls.
