Tips

1. Always sieve both the flours for even mixing.
2. For more flavour, 1/4 tsp of hing powder can be added.
3. Don’t add omam directly to the dough, make it as a powder or soak and use the filtered water.
4. Don’t add too much omam, as it will give bitter taste.
5. Make the dough little sticky if it is dry, it will be difficult to press it.
6. If the dough becomes dry, sprinkle little water.
7. Don’t give resting time for the dough, or else while frying omapodi changes in colour.
8. This omapodi can be used for mixture and other chat recipes.
9. Don’t skip to add hot oil to the dough, as it gives crispiness to the snack.
10. Also don’t add hot oil or butter more than mentioned, else omapodi disintegrates while frying.
