Ompodi or omapodi is not something that we make often, for us Sev is very common snack. I made these ompodi when my in-laws were here along with these Namak Para, my in-laws likes this fresh change from regular sev as it’s more crunchy due the fact that we use rice flour in this. If you have idiyappam blade/disc then ompodi will be more thin, with my disc I got only this thinness, but doesn’t make any difference in the taste. A great snack to munch on any time or during festivals and it also go well with most of chaat recipes. Check out easy Diwali sweets recipes here.

Notes ~
~ Add water only in small quantity as less water is required for dough.
~ If you don’t like crispiness then use only 2 tbsp of rice flour.
~ You can add 1 tsp chili powder for a spicy ompodi.
Have a nice day ~~
