  • Salt - a pinch
  • Oil
  • Water
Method :

Take a bowl add in maida + salt + oil and mix it well and then add water little by little and knead it well till a soft dough is formed ...and allow it to rest for few mins. meanwhile prepare the stuffing ...

Method to make the somasi :

Take small ball size of the dough and roll it like how we make it for poori then place it on the mould and place the stuffing in one side and close the mould tightly and take all excess dough if any and place it in a plate ...

Heat a kadai and add oil for deep frying , once the oil is hot gently drop in the somasi and deep fry it till done on both the sides ...

If you don't have the mould , you can roll it like poori and place the stuffing in one side and bring the other part and close it and press the ends with fork and then deep fry it ..
