Somas urundai mixture
Shaped somas urundai
My late aunt ( we called her kannu attai) used to make this sweet. My mum got the recipe from her and used it to make this for us for tea. I dont think I have come across this sweet or recipe anywhere else. I wonder where my aunt got this recipe or maybe it was her own creation. Nevertheless it is an all time favourite for me.
Ingredients
1 cup rava/sooji
3/4 cups sugar
a pinch of salt
1/2 cup scraped coconut
water
Directions
1. Dry roast coconut in low flame until it is aromatic and turns light brown. Keep aside.
2. Dry roast rava/sooji until it very lightly browned.
3. With the flame at low, add in the sugar, roasted coconut and salt and stir well for 1 minute.
4. Sprinkle some water to bind the rava mixture. Sprinkle water a little at a time. Rava mixture should be like breadcrumbs. If too much water is added, the rava mixture will turn into a ball or become like kesari.
5. Let the rava mixture cool and then form into lime sized balls.
6. Deep fry in medium hot oil until rava urundai turns golden brown. Rava urundai will be crispy on the
outside and soft on the inside.
7. Enjoy with a hot cup of masala tea.
