During my growing up days, I was not a big fan of sweets/ Indian desserts. These days I am kind of drawn to jaggery based sweets. Sojji means Kesari / sooji ka halwa. I tasted this at my friend’s place. When I tasted this I was sure my husband would love this as the stuffing is Kesari. He is a big fan of Kesari. As guessed he loved it. I have made this with Jaggery but you can make this with sugar also.
Ingredients
Maida / All purpose flour – 1 cup
Rava / sooji / Semolina – 3/4 cup
Jaggery – 1/2 cup
Rava / sooji / Semolina – 3/4 cup
Jaggery – 1/2 cup
Cardamom powder a pinch
Mixed nuts – 1 tablespoon (I have used cashews. fry it in ghee)
Ghee – 4 Teaspoon
Salt to taste
Oil to fry
Method:
Add a pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon of ghee to maida and prepare the soft pliable dough using the required water. Apply oil and cover it with a wet cloth for 30 mins
Heat jaggery with 2 cups of water. Drain to remove the impurities.
Bring it to boil again. Add Fried rava and stir without any lumps. Cook it with lid closed.
Take Lemon size maida dough and spread it using your greased hands. Place the rava balls
Bring the all sides together using your fingers flatten it again. It will be thick like Poli. Repeat the process
Heat the oil in a deep pan. When the oil is hot deep fry each poli in medium flame till golden brown on both side
