Take a handful of omappodi and keep it in your mouth. It will melt in the mouth with in few seconds and it gives wonderful taste. I love this crunchy snacks which can be made easily with just couple of ingredients and some spices. I usually prepare this for Diwali along with some other snacks and this is the one which gets consumed and emptied first. Again, my dear readers living in abroad, if you don't have the omappodi nazhi (Omappodi press and mould) then you can not try this, but make sure that you get the one when you visit India.
