Khara Omapodi

Omapodi is an easy to make snack. I generally love the khara version with chilly powder. We can also make this without chilly powder. Over to the recipe now. We include omam (ajwain) in making this snack. I guess hence it got the name omapodi.



Ingredients:

Besan (Chickpea Flour) - 250 grams
Rice Flour  - 20 grams
Ajwain powdered  - 10 grams
Butter - 25 grams
Chilly powder - 20 grams
Salt -  to taste


Method:

• Mix besan, salt, chilly powder, ajwain and butter in a bowl.
• Add little by little water and mix well to make dough like chapathi.
• Make a small out of this dough and put it in the press and mould (nazhi) with the correct chip.    
•  Note: we use the chip with small holes (the one which is used to make idiappam) here.
• Heat oil in a kadai. Check the heat by dropping a pinch of the dough. It should raise immediately.
• Press down the dough in the oil.
• Cook till it is slightly brown. Drain and transfer to a bowl. 
• Repeat the procedure for the rest of the dough.
• Add little fried curry leaves to make the omapodi more interesting.

Khara Omapodi is ready!!! Serve with hot tea!!!!
