Omavalli Bajji / Karpooravalli Bajji / Ajwain Leaf Bajji is one of the yumm snacks that can be had on a rainy day with chai. Ajwain Leaves help in Curing Cough and Cold. The flavour of Ajwain Leaf with the deep fried besan batter pairs well and it is simply tasty. I always pair Omavalli Bajji with Ginger Cardamom Tea. I used Mint Chutney as the dip for Omavalli Bajji.
