Sev Recipe 2 Ways | Omapodi Recipe | How to make Omapodi Mixturewith step-by-step photo and video recipe. Deep-fried snacks are one of the popular and easy snack recipes across India. There are several, but perhaps one of the simple yet tasty snack recipes is the deep-fried noodles or also known as plain sev. It can be made with different ingredients, but the basic one is besan or wheat flour sev snack.
There are several types of omapodi or plain sev prepared, which mainly differ in their thickness and each one has its own significance. The nylon or the thin sev is mainly used for garnishing the chaat recipes. It is mainly used in dabeli recipes, sev puri or even in dahi puri recipes. The next type is the medium-thickness plain sev which is mainly used in a spicy mixture or chivda recipes. In addition, it can also be used in curries like sev tomato ki sabji and any tomato-based curries. The last type is the thick plain sev which again can be used in spicy mixture and poha chivda. Further, it is also used in misal pav recipes and usal pav recipes too.
Furthermore, some important tips and recommendations for a perfect plain sev or omapodi recipe. Firstly, I would heavily recommend using fresh wheat and besan flour for any type of deep-fried snack. This is because we generally keep these snacks for a couple of days and hence the shelf life. Also, deep frying uses fresh oil and preferably vegetable or sunflower oil. We do not want to have the flavour oil infused into the sev snack. Lastly, store these snacks in an air-tight container for a longer shelf life without having a foul smell to the snack.
Finally, I would like to add my other Snacks Recipes Collection for Diwali celebrations with this post of sev recipes. It mainly includes aloo bhujia, instant chakli, kara sev, palak chakli, butter murukku, nippattu, kodubale, khara boondi and shankarpali recipe. In addition, do visit my other recipes collection,
