Today Iam celebrating Valentine's Day with one of my husband's favorite sweet namely Soji Appam.Both my husband and I have a sweet tooth.But as a health factor we try to avoid sweets as much as possible.....Well this time Iam pardoning myself for making this sweet.....It just feels really nice to sit back and enjoy your favorite sweets once in a while.......So here goes the wonderful recipe for my Soji appam.Well I have given more pictures than usual to help understand the recipe.
Well for people who are wondering what Soji Appam is , it can be literally translated to'Rava Pancake'. This pancake mix is made from maida which is available in the Indian grocery stores.This sweet has two parts, one is the stuffing part and the other is the pancake mix which we call the 'Sariga'.Ok here goes the recipe...
Ingredients
For the stuffing
Rava- 1/2 cup
sugar-1/2 cup
coconut -1 cup(frozen or fresh)
whole milk - 1 cup
For the sariga
maida - 1/2 cup
oil - 4 tblsp
salt - a pinch
Method
Recipe Source: A handover recipe from my grandma.
Well I contribute the above recipe to Meena's Hooked on Heat celebrating Valentine's Day with all love and pure delight.....

whole milk - 1 cup
For the sariga
maida - 1/2 cup
oil - 4 tblsp
salt - a pinch
Method
- Add the salt in the maida and mix properly. Add water to make a slimy kind of dough that flows like a waterfall when released from your hand.
- Now add 2 tblsp of oil and knead nicely.
- Add another 2 tblsp of oil and knead again.
- Close the bowl and keep it covered for 30 min atleast.
- As for the stuffing combine the rava,sugar,coconut and whole milk and keep it on medium flame and keep stirring till rava is cooked and comes to halwa consistency.
- Well the stuffing is ready if you can take the stuffing in hand and if you are able to make it into a ball without that much stickiness.
- Now switch off the stove and let it cool for few min.
- Make balls and keep them ready.
- Now roll the balls in the sariga and pat them on a plastic sheet and fry them each side on a pan with 1/4 tsp of oil for each side until golden brown.
- Thus place them in a box and store it in the fridge for a maximum period of 1 week.
