Homemade Karapusa – Crispy and Spicy Telugu Snack Delight

Savor the crunch of tradition with our Homemade Karapusa, a beloved Telugu snack made from gram flour, rice flour, and a special blend of spices. Deep-fried in pure groundnut oil until golden and crispy, this classic savory offers the perfect balance of spice, texture, and homemade freshness.

Popularly enjoyed during festivals and tea-time, Karapusa is also known as besan sev or ompodi in different parts of India, but nothing beats the original Andhra-style version. We prepare it in small batches using time-tested recipes with no added preservatives or artificial flavors.

Perfect as a standalone snack or paired with a hot cup of chai, this traditional Indian snack is light, crunchy, and packed with flavor. It also makes a great festive gift or a tasty addition to your everyday snack shelf.

Karapusa – The Crispy Bite of Every Telugu Home

If there’s one snack that unites every Telugu household, it’s Karapusa—also called omapodi or sev in other parts of India. At Yaami Sri Pickles, we bring you the same crispy, spicy Karapusa your amma or ammamma made during holidays and snack times.

Prepared using fresh besan (gram flour), rice flour, and a mix of traditional spices, our Karapusa is handmade in small batches to ensure you get the real homemade crunch. No machine-made bland taste—just pure, golden, crunchy strands with that unmistakable Telugu touch.

Sahithi’s Story – Why Karapusa is Special

As a child, Sahithi often helped her mother and grandmother in the kitchen during Sankranti and Dussehra, especially when snacks like Karapusa were being made. She still remembers the sound of sizzling oil and the joy of freshly fried Karapusa served in steel dabbas.

With blessings and secret tips from her mother-in-law Sridevi Garu, she recreated the same recipe for Yaami Sri Pickles—no soda, no preservatives, only traditional flavor.
