   Ingredients needed

   Omapodi ( Sev) – crush it – 2 cups
   Kara boondi -2 cups
   Beaten rice (Aval/poha) – 1 cup
   Fried gram (pottu kadalai) – 1/2 cup
   Peanuts – handful
   Cashew nuts – handful
   Curry leaves- fistful

   Oil for deep frying
   Salt and chilli powder for taste

Method

Prepare Omapodi (sev), crush it and keep it aside. Kindly refer my detailed post with pictures on how to make Omapodi.

Prepare kara boondis. Kindly refer my detailed post with pictures on how to make kara boondi)

Heat oil and fry pottu kadalai ( fried gram) and keep it aside.

Then fry aval and drain it on a paper towel to remove excess oil.

Then fry peanuts, cashew nuts and curry leaves separately.

Now mix everything together and sprinkle a little salt and chilli powder on it. Mix well again. There are no hard and fast rules regarding measurements though I have given it approximately. If you like boondi more, you can add more of that. Likewise if you like omapodi (sev),then you can add that more.

Enjoy it as such or with a hot cup of tea or coffee.

    Dear padhu
    This is my all time favorite. I have located a place in Noida, where I can get the southern mixtures. I have a good mind to make it, if not the mix but the Omapodi for sure.
    Have a nice week
