Besan Sev / Ompudi
Besan Sev/ Ompudi
Written by Jayashree

Ompudi or besan sev is a popular snack which is cherished by all. It is ideal to store in the jar as a dry snack. It is commonly made during festivities in South India.

Over the years, I have realised few things about this recipe. This is the easiest one to make of all the dry snacks. It requires lesser efforts and the ingredients are easily available anytime at home. Moreover, it does not absorb much oil. It pairs well with south indian dishes such as poha and upma.

Ingredients :  

Measurement used: 1cup =250ml

  • gram flour 2 cups
  • rice flour 2tbsp
  • ajwain  powder 2tsp
  • salt to taste
  • chilli powder 2tsp
  • turmeric powder 1/4 tsp
  • asafoetida a pinch
  • water for kneading
  • oil for frying

Equipments :

kadai, ladle, serving plate, chakli press with medium hole nozzle, absorbent paper, air tight container

Method :

  • Take the  flour in a wide bowl. Add chilli powder,salt, turmeric powder,asafoetida , chilli powder and mix well. Heat the oil in a kadai. As it heats, put two table spoon of oil to this and knead it with adequate quantity of water to a stiff dough.
  • Grease some oil to the press. The nozzles can be changed, use the one with medium size hole for this recipe.
  • Take a ball of the dough, put it into it and slowly press it into the oil in circular.
  • Deep fry by spreading some oil over it . After sometime, turn it to other side.
  • Once it is brown in colour, remove it on an absorbent paper.
  • When cool, store in an air tight container.

Such an important snack to have at home for anytime and any day. Adding rice flour to make the besan sev more crunchy is a good idea.
