Sojji Appam (Sweet Poori) is one of the forgotten recipe. It is one the old and traditional sweet made with maida as outer cover and  Rava Kesari as filling. This deep fried crispy sweet poori is a absolute treat for our taste buds. Sooji Kesari itself is a delicious  sweet and we are going to use Kesari as a filling. This seems to be complicated but believe me, the taste of this Sojji appam is so delicious that our heart wants more 🙂 . For events like Sumangali Prarthanai and festivals like Navratri, it was tradition to make this Sojji Appam. Try this forgotten recipe for this Navratri or casually for a evening snack and let me know your comments!

Tips for making Sojji Appam:

  1. We can use wheat flour and Maida in equal quantities if you are health conscious. I make this recipe once or twice a year so I use maida.
  2. We can use jaggery instead of sugar. For 1 cup of rava, use 1.5 cups of jaggery.
  3. Sugar quantity is usually 1:2. For 1 cup of Rava(Sooji) we use 2 cups of sugar. If you are not sweet toothed, then you can reduce the sugar to 1:1.
  4. We generally add food color for Kesari, but for this Sojji appam we don’t use.
  5. While frying make sure the oil is hot, that will help the appam to puff. Puffiness goes on over a period of time but it tastes and stays good for 2 days at room temperature. Microwave the stuffed poori for a few seconds and enjoy the hot.
  6. Adding coconut is optional we can skip.
  7. Make sure the sooji is cooked completely before adding sugar or jaggery.
