What you need

Besan/ Chickpea flour: 2 cup

Rice flour - 1/2 cup

Salt: 1 ½ teaspoon or to taste

Ghee/clarified butter: 2 tablespoon

Ground Ajwain/ Carom seeds - 1/2 tablespoon

Red chili powder: 1/2tsp

Water: ¾ cup

Asafetodia: ¼ teaspoon

Canola oil: 4 cup

How I made

In a coffee grinder grind two teaspoon of ajwain/carom/caraway seeds it will yield 2 tablespoon powder.

In a bowl, mix besan, rice flour, ajwain, salt, Red Chili powder, ghee and asafetodia. Slowly add water to the mixture and make soft dough. It will be sticky and soft.

Heat a pan with oil in a thick bottom pan, when it becomes very hot around 365 F, simmer the flame. Take two tablespoon of dough into Murruku presser lined with thin holes and press and directly press over hot oil in a circular movement for about 3 -4 circles.

Cook over medium flame and turn over to ensure both sides are cooked to golden color. It took about 7 minutes. Remove them with a slotted spoon and drain it into a kitchen towel to remove excess oil.

Enjoy as Omapodi or add it in Mixture or in chaat.
