Omapodi

This is another easy Indian Snack.  Only few ingredients needed to prepare this dish. It’s very simple to make and the taste is awesome. This should go well with any meal, coffee, and tea.

In my childhood, I have seen many of my friends drank coffee with this omapodi. They mixed into their drink and had that. That was surprising and amazing to me. And you can use this dish with any chat recipes.

Ingredients

Besan Flour/ Kadala Maavu – 2 cups

Rice Flour – ½ cup

Butter – 2 tsp

Omam (Ajwain) – 2 tsp

Oil – 2 tsp (hot)

Salt a pinch

Water as required

Method

In a pan, add omam and dry roast it for 2 to 3 min, and then make it as powder.

Take 5 tsp of warm water, add omam powder into this and set it aside. Then filter it and keep it aside for some time.

In a bowl, add besan flour and rice flour and mix well. Now add the filtered omam water, hot oil and make this as soft dough.

In a kadai, heat oil for deep fry omapodi. Now take your omapodi press and fill this dough in it.

Press it in the preheated oil. Once it cooked one side and turn into other side.

Repeat the process till the dough gets over. Remove the excess oil by using paper towel.
