After adding the peanuts you may increase the flame to low medium. Add almonds and cashew nuts when peanuts are half done. Keep stirring. Add murmura and roasted chana dal and keep stirring. Check for the crispiness. If murmura is not crispy enough continue frying until you get the desired crispiness. If the pan gets too hot reduce the flame to low.
