Mixture is a famous snack of South India. It is easy to prepare mixture at home. Nothing can beat the taste of home made mixture. I have already published detailed post on How to make Kara Boondi and Omapodi. If you know how to prepare kara boondi and omapodi, then preparing South Indian mixture at home is no big deal.
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.
