Omapodi

     After i left the job, i got handful of time which am spending completely with kid and trying different recipes. Now coming to this post, still i wonder a festival snack recipe in my blog ??!! Its still a BIG exclamation :) Yes, this is my first tried omapudi recipe in my so far marriage life. But my mom is very well expertise in prepare all kinds of festival recipes, so, i have heard my mom telling, hand will be very painful when we prepare omapudi, murukku and mixture, so was in dilemma whether to take this up or not. Finally i tried and here its for your views.

ALL YOU NEED:

Besan Flour	1 cup
Rice Flour	1/4 cup
Red chilly Powder	1 spoon
Hot oil	3 spoons
Ajwain	1 spoon
Salt	To Taste
Oil	To Deep fry

METHOD:
     Dry roast the ajwain until nice aroma comes. Coarsely powder it in mixer. Heat 1/4 cup of water, add ajwain powder into it, let it sit for a while. Meantime, take a wide bowl, add sieved besan flour, rice flour, 3 spoons of hot oil, required salt, red chilly powder, mix it well. Now strain the ajwain powder mixture. Pour the required amount of ajwain water into the flour mixture, mix well until it reaches the soft dough. Keep an eye, it should not be too sticky. Heat a pan for deep frying, meantime fill it into the omapudi press. Once the oil gets heated, press the dough gently and toss it both the side, until it gets cooked.

    Can you see the nice golden brown colored omapudi in the image, in general i love the little browned snack all time, which is 100% false, actually i burnt it slightly :P

Note: Since i didn't have butter at home, compromised it with additional 2 spoons of hot oil.
