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)

Heat oil in a sauce pan. Press the dough over hot oil as a large size murukku.

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.
