Mix the powdered roasted bengal gram dal and also the Cardomon
Dry roast the Khus khus for few secs until it turns cripsy
Grate the Coconut and Sun dry it…When she made, it was hot mid summer
she kept it for 4 hours
If u dont get sun, u can dry roast the coconut until it is free from moisture
Mix all the ingredients for stuffing(puranam)
For the Dough
Mix the rava ,maida ,and the salt
Sprinkle minimum of water and make a tight dough
Rest the dough for 10 minutes
Use the heavy grinding stone/Ammikallu and hit the dough on it for 10 minutes until it turns soft and much more flexible
Soon, roll them into flat (chapathi ) rotis.
Keep the stuffing (puranam) in center.
Close the edges, make into half-moon. Use water to seal them
Move them to Airy place and let them dry for few minutes
Once they are dried (5-7 minutes under fan), the edges starts to curl up.
Dont over dry it, since u will get only browny somas.
In medium flame, fry all the somas (patience!!) as white as ever
