Karasevai or Om Pudi

Karasevai is a mixture-like south indian snack, which can be consumed with coffee or tea or for snack time.

It is easy to make and store. It can be stored for couple of days, without any anxiety of being spoilt.

Ingredients needed:

1 measure(may be cup, bowl or anything): gram flour or basin flour(kadaley hittu)

1/2 measure: Rice flour

Salt to taste

Red chilli powder, to tatse or 2 to 3 spoons

1/2 tsp: Hing

1 spoon: Om kaalu

4 spoons heated oil

Mix all the above to a semi soft consistency, that means when you press, after mixing and kneading, it should be little soft.

1) Heat sufficient oil in a kadai

2) Take the "Chakkali oralu", which looks like shown in below.Grease the oil on to the outer portion of piece 1(top one) and inner wall of piece 2 (bottom one).

3) Take small ball of the dough, place it inside  piece 2.

4) Now press the handle and see the dough coming out and falling into the kadi. Make a circular movement of the and so that it will form a round shape. Ofcourse a small plate with holes will be placed in between these 2 pieces.Select the mold with thin holes.

5) Fry in medium flame, take it out and allow it to cool. Later on, gently press the prepared om pudi. It will break to small pieces as show in picture 1.

Store it in a air-tight container, only when it is completely cooled. Perhaps after 15 minutes of preparation
