aloo bhujiya
Aloo Bhujia is a popular Indian snack made from deep-fried, spicy potato vermicelli or potato sticks. It is a crunchy and savory snack that is often enjoyed with tea or as a side dish with meals.
Should I sieve Kadalai maavu for potato sev?
Lump-free | grain-free batter results in the best Omapodi. If you think besan has lumps, sieve first, then prepare the dough
How much water should I add to the batter?
The exact quantity might vary depending on the type of besan flour you use. I generally add 4:1 (besan to water ratio) then add extra water as required. Avoid pouring water. Always add little by little and make a pliable crack-free dough.
How long should I fry Omapodi?
Sev fries fast compared to the murukku variety. Always Fry besan sev till bubbles subside and sshh sound ceases
Can I skip Carom seeds?
it is optionally but little gives a subtle flavor. also good fro digestion.
Should I add Asafoetida?
YEs, also give nice flavor also good for digestion.
Optimal oil temperature
- Drop a little dough in hot oil
- Too hot oil - dough turns dark (burn)
- Not hot enough - sink to the bottom of the pan soon after dropping
- Right Oil Temperature - dough floats in a few seconds without changing color
