Nuvvula poornam / Seasme seeds sweet

Ingredients :

All purpose flour / Maida : 1 cup
salt : a pinch
Oil : for deep frying

For stuffing :
seasme seeds : 2 cups
jaggery : 2 cups (powdered)
cardamom powder : a pinch
edible camphor : a pinch

dry nuts : 1/2 cup (sliced cashews, almonda and pista)


Dry roast the sasme seeds in a pan and allow them to cool. Grind into a coarse powder along with the powdered jaggery, cardamom and camphor. It becomes a sticky paste. Add the dry nuts to this mixture. Now make lime size balls and place them aside.

In a bowl take the flour and add a pinch of salt and make a smooth batter adding water. The batter should be of dosa batter consistency. Keep a pan and pour the oil and heat it. Now dip each ball in this batter and put into the oil. Fry until it gets a golden brown color on all sides. Remove and drain the excess oil on paper towels. Serve hot or cold.
