Omapodi | Sev Recipe with step by step pictures and instructions. Omapodi is crispy snack recipe flavoured with ajwain. It is one of the common recipes made during Diwali. We can skip ajwain and make plain sev. It is also used in chat items. During last year Diwali I tried omapodi and made it three times after that. This year made it for making mixture. I love to eat it as such as snack. Rice flour gives crispiness to the sev. You can use very fine or medium sized hole plate to make sev.

You can add red chilli powder too if you are using for mixture. But I like to skip it even for mixture.

Dough should not be very firm. Otherwise it is difficult to press it.
