PREPARATION:
Clean and Soak the omam(ajwain /caraway seeds) in water for 5-10 minutes.
Then grind the soaked ajwain into smooth paste using required water.
Then filter the ground ajwain to remove the coarse particles.
Use some more water and filter the ajwain extract completely.
Keep it aside.
METHOD:
In a bowl mix the rice flour, besan, salt, red chilli powder .
Then add the hot oil and mix well till it becomes crumble.
Then add the filtered ajwain extract.
Add water little by little and knead the dough.
The dough should not be too thick or too soft.
Grease the murukku press and small holed plate with oil.
Then make cylindrical roll out of the dough and put inside the murukku press.
Heat oil in a wide pan.
Press the dough and make sev as circular discs in the hot oil directly.
Flip the sev(oma podi) using a ladle once it is half cooked.
Then let it cook on the other side too.
Once the sizzling reduced and the oma podi becomes crisp, drain from the oil.
Let the prepared oma podi/sev to cool down completely and then store in air tight box.
NOTES:
1. You can add 1/2 or 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder to get bright yellow colour.
2. For easy blending of salt and flour, you can even mix the salt in water and add.
3. Filtering the oman juice is very important to avoid strucking of coarse particles
in the holes.
4. Adding red chilli powder will gives mild spiciness to the oma podi.
if you dont want , you can skip.
5. For flavour use the dry curry leaves or wipe the washed curry leaves with a
towel/tissue completely before adding into the oil to avoid spluttering.
6. Fry in low medium flame, otherwise the omapodi(sev) will get browed fast.
7. Adding very hot oil gives cruchiness to the sev, instead you can even add butter.
8. While kneading the dough add water little by little ad dont make the dough as
too stiff or too soft.
if the dough is too stiff, it will be so hard to push the press while making sev.
if the dough is too thin, oma podi wont be crisp and will obsorb more oil.
9. For me it required 3 cups of water and 3/4 cup of oman extract to knead the dough..
10. if you are preparing in large quantity, dont prepare dough bulk, prepare in batches.
if we keep the kneaded dough for long time, it will make dark sev(oma podi) and the
texture may become little hard..
