OmPodi

Omapodi  is a South Indian snacks, prepared using besan and rice flour.  We add omam or Ajwain to it to get a fine flavour.  Omam is very good  for health.
Thanks to Helen for the Murukku Presser.....

Ingredients
Besan – 2 cups
Rice flour – 1 cup
Omam -15 gms (powdered)grind it in Mixie
Salt – 1  tsp ( to taste)
Asafoetida – 1/2 tsp
Butter or ghee – 1 tbl spoon
Oil – for deep frying

METHOD:
  • Mix besan , rice flour, omam powder, butter, asafoetida &  salt with  water and make it into a thick paste like  batter but a soft one.
  • Heat the oil in the kadai.Test how hot it is by dropping a pinch of dough into it – if it sinks, the oil hasn’t become hot enough. If the dough springs to the top with bubbles all around it, then the oil is just ready.
  • In your muruku press place the oma podi plate and load
  • the dough and press it directly into the hot oil. Fry it untill it is golden yellow and crispy.
  • Crispy omapodi  is ready. Allow it to cool and store it in an air tight container.
  • We can make little variations to make it taste different.
  • Along with omam powder add 1 tsp of  chilly powder and prepare the batter.
