We consider the mixed inflaton-curvaton scenario in which quantum fluctuations of the curvaton field during inflation lead to a relatively large curvature perturbation spectrum at small scales. We use the model of chaotic inflation with quadratic potential including supergravity corrections leading to a large positive tilt in the power spectrum of the curvaton field. The model is characterized by the strongly inhomogeneous curvaton field in the Universe and large non-Gaussianity of curvature perturbations at small scales. We obtained the constraints on the model parameters considering the process of primordial black hole (PBH) production in radiation era.
