Plain sev recipe

Omapodi is my daughter’s favourite snack. It is also known as Plain sev. Yesterday I tried Oma podi recipe for the first time by referring a cook book. It came out really well with simple ingredients. The flavour of ajwain/omam is the highlight of this recipe. If you don’t like ajwain flavor, you can skip it and add hing. Its taste will surely reming you store bought sev. Its very easy to prepare. Do try this for your kids during this Diwali. Store in an air tight box and consume within a week.

  • Mix well and add little more water to make a dough. No problem even if the dough is slightly sticky. It will be easy to press in oil. Make a smooth dough and fill it in the press by placing the idiyappam mould.

  • Heat oil in a kadai, put a small piece and if it rises immediately the oil temperature is just right. Now press the dough in a circular manner. Do not crowd the oil. Just one round is enough. Cook for few seconds and flip it, remove after the “sssssh “ sound & bubble ceases.

NOTE

  • If you find hard to press, sprinkle little water, mix well & press in oil.
  • Always maintain the oil in right temperature by adjusting the flame otherwise omapodi turns brown in color..
