Velluli Karapoosa, also called Garlic Sev, is a traditional Andhra snack that combines crunchiness with a punch of flavor. Prepared by mixing gram flour (besan), rice flour, and freshly ground garlic paste along with chili powder, turmeric, and cumin, the dough is pressed through a sev maker and deep-fried until golden and crisp. Each strand of Karapoosa carries the rich aroma of garlic and the perfect balance of spice, making it a delightful accompaniment to tea, coffee, or festive celebrations. This savory snack is cherished not only for its taste but also for its ability to stay crunchy for days when stored properly—making it a must-have in every Andhra kitchen.
