step by Directions with screenshots to make sweet somas

• Mix the maida and salt together, add water little by little and make a firm dough
  
• Then add 1 tablespoon warm ghee, knead for at least 5 min and then Keep aside.
• Now heat a pan, add 2 tablespoon ghee and fry cashew nuts and raisins. When fried golden transfer to a plate.
• Now in the same Pan, add Semolina and roast for few mins.
• Dry roast the coconut till it becomes dry and moisture evaporates.
• Add sugar to a mixing bowl and then add Semolina, Coconut, dry fruits, Cardamom Powder and mix well. The stuffing is ready.
• Now take the dough, knead it well and divide it into equal balls.
  Roll out a ball into a thin big circle.
• Using a lid, press on the rolled out dough and remove the excess dough. You will get a perfect circle. I used a lid 4 inches in diameter. In this method, all the somas will be of the same size.
• Place 1 tablespoon of stuffing in the middle of the circle.
• Now dip your finger in water and apply it on the edges of half a circle, so that the somas will stick well and the stuffing will not come out while frying.
• Now close it and seal the edges well by pressing it with your fingers. Using a fork, give a nice design to the somas. Repeat the same process for the rest of the dough.
• Heat oil in a Kadai, when oil is hot, reduce the heat to medium.
• Drop 2-3 somas (depending on the capacity of the Kadai and quantity of oil used) and fry both sides until golden brown.
• Place it in a paper towel to drain excess oil. Cooldown and store in an airtight container.
