Velankudi MADRAS MIXTURE 200GMS

Description

Madras mixture is a beloved South Indian snack known for its vibrant medley of textures, flavors, and aromas. Traditionally prepared during festivals like Diwali but enjoyed year-round, this crunchy treat is a combination of several fried ingredients—each contributing its own unique taste and crunch.
At its core, Madras mixture typically includes kara boondi (spiced chickpea flour pearls) and omapodi (thin sev made from gram flour), which form the base. To this, a variety of elements are added: fried peanuts, roasted gram dal, flattened rice (poha), cashews, and curry leaves, all deep-fried to golden perfection. Some regional variations may also include banana chips, ribbon pakoda, or even sweet maida biscuits, adding layers of flavor and surprise in every handful.Once all the components are prepared, they’re tossed together with a blend of spices—usually red chili powder, turmeric, and a pinch of asafoetida—creating a snack that’s spicy, savory, and deeply aromatic. The result is a colorful, crunchy mix that’s as festive as it is addictive.
Madras mixture is often stored in airtight containers and enjoyed with tea or coffee, making it a staple in many South Indian households. Its homemade charm and customizable nature make it a snack that’s both nostalgic and endlessly satisfying.
