Ompodi

I got this recipe from my Anni . Easy and was tasty too!. I made this for Diwali but didn't get time to post. Few handy ingredients and here you go.

Ingredients

Bean flour / kadalai maavu - 1.5 cups

Rice flour - 3/4 cup

Ajwain / omam - 1/2 table spoon

Red chilli powder - 1 tsp

Salt to taste

Water - 2/3 cup + 1 table spoon

Method:

Dry roast ajwain until nice aroma comes. Switch off the flame and add little water and let it soak well for atleast 15 minutes.

Seive both the flours well.

Meanwhile heat oil in a pan for deep frying.

Add in salt, chilli powder, drained water from ajwain . 

Add 3 to 4 table spoon of hot oil. 

Slowly add the water and knead the dough .

It would be slightly a sticky dough.

Using the murukku press , make the ompoodi. It takes only a minute or so for each side to fry.

Drain the excess oil in the paper towel.

Once it cools , store in air tight container.
