Mixture is an well known chat in southern side of India.There are so many varieties in mixture,depending on the ingredients used. North Indian mixtures are sweet & spicy mix with all nuts. But here is the recipe for South Indian spicy mixture.
Ingredients:
v 1 Cup of Split gram (Pottu kadalai)
v Oil for frying
v 1 /2 Cup of Peanuts(Raw)
v Pooha -Puffed rice
v ½ tsp Salt
v 1 tsp Red Chilli powder
v Curry leaves
v Ompodi:
3 Cups Besan flour
2 tbs of Omam seeds
1 Cup Rice flour
1 Cup of Water
2 tbs butter
1/2 tsp Salt
1 / 2 tsp Red chilli powder
Pinch of Asafoetida
v Boondi:
1 Cup Besan flour
1 /2 Cup Water
Pinch of Salt
Preparation:
· Preparing Ompodi:
In a sauce pan,bring a cup of water to boil with the omam seeds. Let it boil for 5-7 mins and then filter the water alone.
**Always have extra water – ie., I used to boil 1 ½ cups of water to boil sothat it reduces to 1 cup of water. Use the required amount of water(differs according to the flour used) for making dough and reserve the rest to drink as kasayam after eating mixture.**
Mix the besan flour,rice flour,salt,red chilli powder,asafetida in a large bowl and add melted butter to it.
Then knead the dough with the omam water.This dough will be like the poori dough.
Now take a portion of dough and place it in a murukku press with sev plate. (which we use to make idiyapam – with smallest holes)
Turn the ompodi and fry well on each side and drain it in a paper towel.
Make more ompodis in the remaining dough.
· Preparing Boondi:
Mix the besan flour,salt with water and make boondis.
Pls refer Laddu to see how to make boodis.
· Other Ingredients:
Fry the raw peanuts and also pori kadalai . Cashewnuts can also be added to this.
In a pan, dry fry the curry leaves.
· Mixture:
Now mix the boondis,peanuts,split grams,any nuts,and the ompodi broken with a pinch of salt,red chilli powder and asafetida & curry leaves.
Mix well and store it in a ziplock bag and serve it when needed.
