OMAPPODI

Omapodi, also known as Sev, is a crispy and savory South Indian snack made primarily from chickpea flour (besan) and flavored with ajwain (carom seeds) and other spices. The preparation involves mixing besan with water, ajwain, salt, and sometimes turmeric to form a smooth dough. This dough is then passed through a Sev press or mold directly into hot oil, creating thin strands or noodles that are deep-fried until golden and crispy.

Omapodi is characterized by its delicate texture and aromatic flavor from the ajwain seeds. It is commonly enjoyed as a standalone snack or used as a topping for various chaat dishes. Omapodi is a popular snack during festivals like Diwali and is also served as a crunchy accompaniment to tea or coffee. Its addictive crunch and spicy taste make it a beloved treat across South India.
