SWEET SAMOSA | SWEET SOMAS RECIPE, SOMASI

I learnt this sweet samosa recipe from my MIL.We used to make this for every diwali.It is very easy to prepare with a no cook, coconut, fried gram dal and sugar used as a simple stuffing. We call it as somas sweet or somasi.  It is also known as Karanji, meetha samosa in Hindi. Kids would love this for sure. We have made the shape using samosa cutter. You can use a fork or fold with hands to make nice swirls like chandrakala. ok, lets see how to make sweet samosa recipe with step by step pictures.

  • In the mean while , make the filling / stuffing. In a kadai , dry roast coconut for a minute till the wetness emanates.

  • Now make a small poori ( should be slightly thick )and keep 2 tsp of filling in the centre. Close one side to make a semi circle.Seal the corner by pressing with ur finger ( dip ur fingers in water & seal it if needed). Now run the samosa spoon over the edges to make a design.. Discard the extras and set aside.
