Omapodi, also known as sev or bhujia, is a popular Indian snack that originated in the southern region of India, particularly in the states of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. It is a crispy and savory snack made from chickpea flour and flavored with ajwain seeds, which are also known as carom seeds.

The dough for Omapodi is prepared by mixing chickpea flour, rice flour, and a blend of spices including ajwain, turmeric, chili powder, and salt. The dough is then shaped into thin noodles using a special sev maker or a potato ricer with a special disc. The noodles are deep-fried until they turn crispy and golden brown.
