Omapodi - Diwali Snack

Preparation Time: 10 min

Cooking Time: 30 min

Ingredients:

1.     Gram / Besan Flour / கடலை மாவு - 2 cup

2.      Rice flour - 1 tbsp

3.      Salt to taste

Procedure:

1.  Sift gram flour and add it in a large mixing bowl. To this add rice flour and salt. Add water and make a sticky dough. Use little oil if it too sticky.

2.  Heat oil in a kadai. This time I bought a new electric kettle to make diwali snack. Our normal kadai will be good to fry. Use idyappam press to make big circles into the oil. The holes in my idyappam maker will be little big. If you wish you can use small hole idyappam press too.

3. Check whether the oil is hot by dropping a small dough piece. It should rise to the surface of oil immediately. Maavu will be little hard to press. You can also press on the reverse of karandi and then drop it into oil. Fry them until the sound is seized.

4.  Transfer then to a tissue or oil strainer to remove excess oil. Slightly break them to make omapodi. Do not break them too small. It will so crispy and will break by itself.

                Crispy plain sev / omapodi is ready for snack..!! Happy Diwali to all..!!!
