Somas: (Andhra Special)
Khujhiyas. Ghugras. Somas. Kajjikayalu. Karanji. Somasi. Sweet Samosa
Ingredients:
Oil for deep frying.
For The Dough:
All Purpose flour 1 cup
Semolina 1/4 cup
Salt 1 pinch
Baking soda 1 pinch
Ghee few spoons
For The Filling:
Poppy seeds 1/4 cup
Grated dry coconut 1/4 cup
Powdered sugar 1/4 cup
Cardamom 6 crushed.
Method:
Knead a smooth dough using all the ingredients mentioned above. Cover and leave it on the counter top for couple of hours.
Divide them into equal parts and roll them into thin pooris.
Now place a spoon full of filling items in the middle and seal the edges.
Repeat the same for all the remaining stuff. Deep fry them till crisp in hot oil.
Dust them with powdered sugar for extra sweetness…I skipped this step intentionally.
Serve warm or at room temperature or cold.
