Omappodi

Omappodi is a traditional South Indian savory snack, cherished for its delicate texture and subtle flavor. Crafted from a smooth batter of besan (gram flour) infused with ajwain (carom seeds), the mixture is passed through a fine sev press and deep-fried until golden and crisp. The presence of ajwain not only adds a mild, aromatic spice but also aids digestion, making it a wholesome snack. Omappodi is often enjoyed on its own, used as a topping for chaats, or included in festive mixtures like South Indian "mixture." Light, airy, and mildly spiced, it's a versatile snack that's both comforting and addictive.
