Ingredients

• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Carom seeds (Ajwain)
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 2 cups Oil for deep frying

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, carom seeds, turmeric powder, salt, and baking powder.

Step 2

Mix the dry ingredients gently to ensure even distribution of carom seeds and spices.

Step 3

Add the melted butter to the dry ingredients and mix it with your hands until the mixture reaches a crumbly texture.

Step 4

Gradually add water, one tablespoon at a time, kneading the mixture until it forms a smooth and pliable dough. Avoid adding too much water; the dough should be just moist enough to hold together.

Step 5

Tie the dough into an idiappam or sev maker with a small hole attachment.

Step 6

In a deep pan, heat oil for frying. The oil should be moderately hot; test it by dropping a small piece of dough, which should rise to the surface immediately but not brown instantly.

Step 7

Once the oil is ready, press the dough into the hot oil in a circular motion, creating spirals. Do not overcrowd the pan.

Step 8

Fry the omapodi on medium heat until they turn golden brown, ensuring they are cooked evenly. This should take about 2-3 minutes per batch.

Step 9

Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the omapodi from the oil, allowing excess oil to drain off.

Step 10

Place fried omapodi on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any remaining oil.

Step 11

Allow them to cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container to maintain crunchiness.
