Omapodi | Sev Recipe
Omapodi is crispy snack recipe flavoured with ajwain. It is one of the common recipes made during Diwali.
Servings 250 grams
Ingredients
- Besan flour/ kadalai maavu 1 cup
- Rice flour ¼ cup
- Omam/ajwain/carom seeds 1 tsp
- Water 3 tbsp
- Hot oil/Butter 2 tbsp
- Turmeric powder ¼ tsp optional
- Salt as required
Instructions
- Dry roast Omam until nice aroma comes.
- Cool it and transfer to mixer or hand mortar and powder it. It will be coarse.
- To this add 3 tbsp of water and keep it aside for 15 mins.
- After 15 mins drain the water and keep it ready.
- Sieve the besan flour, rice flour and turmeric powder along with salt.
- To this mixture add the drained ajwain extract and hot oil.
- Mix and knead to form dough. If required add little extra water to form dough.
- Heat oil in kadai
- Grease the sev press with oil. Use medium or fine sized hole plate and press the sev in circles like we make Idiyappam.
- Cook the sev in medium to low heat so it retains the nice yellow color flipping in between.
- Drain omapodi in kitchen tissue.
- Break the sev and store in airtight container.
Notes
You can add red chilli powder too if you are using for mixture. But I like to skip it even for mixture.
Dough should not be very firm. Otherwise it is difficult to press it.
You can skip ajwain and make plain sev
