What it is

Adyar Ananda Bhavan was founded by K.S. Thirupathi Raja, who started out making sweets in Rajapalayam, and the brand takes its name from its outlet in Adyar, Chennai. Om podi gets its name from omam, the Tamil word for ajwain, which flavours the dough.

The dough is pressed through the thinnest plate of the murukku press straight into hot oil, so the strands come out thin and crisp. It is light, a little peppery from the ajwain and far too easy to keep eating. Choosing between sev? Om podi for fine and light, pepper sev for heat, mota sev for thick and crunchy.

Tip: Scatter a handful over thayir sadam just before eating, not before, or it goes soft.

Goes well with: A2B Pepper Sev, A2B Madras Mixture, Bru Green Label Filter Coffee
