Omapodi.

Omapodi.(Ajwain spiced fried snack)
Omapodi is one of the dishes you can make in a jiffy. I remember my mom making them and keeping them stored in air tight container, as a surprise when we return from school. A rainy weekend, tea, Omapodi and family gossip time make a heavenly combination.
What you need:
Omam (Caromseeds/ajwain)- 1 tbsp
Gram flour(chickpea/besan flour)- 1 and a half cups.
Rice flour- half cup.
Chilli powder - half teaspoon.
Salt - to taste.
Preparation:
Soak Omam in a bowl of warm water for 15 minutes. grind Omam with water, strain and keep the water. In a vessel mix gram flour, rice flour, chilli powder and salt. Add the omam spiced water and add more water little by little to a soft dough. Take oil in a kadai for deep frying and keep it on the stove. When the oil is hot (but not smoking),take a portion of a dough in a Murukku press and press the dough in to the oil. When they are adequately fried take them out and place in a kitchen tissue to absorb excess oil.
Crispy, yummy omapodi is now ready!!. This can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days.
