Servings3 cups
Ingredients
- 1 cup thinai flour
- 1/2 cup besan flour
- a pinch hing
- 1 teaspoon melted butter
- 1 teaspoon hot oil
- salt to taste
- water as needed
- oil to deep fry
To blend together:
- 3/4 tablespoon ajwain
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
- Dry roast ajwain till nice aroma comes. Add water to it and grind it. This will be a runny liquid, set aside.
- To a sieve add thinai flour, besan flour and sieve it well. Discard the coarse mixture.
- Add butter, oil, hing and required salt. Strain and add ajwain water.
- First mix this well, it will be crumbly. Now add water to it and gather the dough.
- Gather to form a smooth dough. Grease the mould and disc with oil. Fill the mould with dough. Close with lid.
- Heat oil - check by adding a pinch of oil, if it rises immediately then oil is ready. Press in circles. Do not layer too much. Just a 1 or 2 layers should be good.
- Deep fry in low medium flame. Flip over and cook on both sides till golden.
- Drain in tissue paper. After it cools down just separate the pieces.
- Store Millet Omapodi in a clean dry airtight container. Serve with tea.
Notes
- Do not crowd or layer too much.
- I used a slightly big hole disc, you can use idiyappam disc too.
- If the dough is too tight then pressing will be difficult and also the omapodi will turn out hard. In that case sprinkle little water and then mix and try pressing.
- When hot oil is added it turns out nicely crisp, if you want it a bit soft then skip hot oil.
- Press layers just enough for it to immerse completely in oil.
- Oil should not be smoking hot while pressing. Once pressed do not touch for few seconds then flip over and cook.
- You can follow the same recipe for other millets like ragi, samai, etc
