For the outer cover Maida | all purpose flour 1/2 cup Sooji | Rava 2 tblsp Oil /ghee 2 tblsp Salt a pinch Cooking soda a pinch Water to knead the dough For the filling Sugar 1/2 cup Dry coconut(koparai)* 1/2 cup Pottu kadalai | Chutney dal 1/4 cup Cardamom powder a pinch Oil for deep frying*you can also use freshly grated coconut, but roast it nicely in a dry pan before using. Method: Notes:
While rolling the dough ensure let it be thin, else the somas will not be crispy. Make the edges sealed properly, else it may open up in the oil while frying. Let the dough be stiff. You can have the left over poornam as it is or my mom have this with chapathi or dosa too. You can add hot ghee to the poornam and make urundais too.
