BY SHWETA GALINDE
Saranachi Puri or Satori, a fried pastry made with sweet filling is a Maharashtrian delicacy made for festive occasions like Diwali. It is a sweet dish like a poori made out of maida, stuffed with sweet rava/ semolina/ sooji stuffing. The sweet stuffing is made with jaggery and coconut.
In south we call it sojji appam . It is mostly made during Krishna Jayanthi or the Sumangali pooja .
METHOD
Take flour + salt + oil and mix well .
Now gradually add water and knead into soft and stiff dough .
Keep aside for minimum 30 minimum ( The more time you keep it becomes more soft ) .
INGREDIENTS FOR STUFFING
METHOD
Dry roast the rava till aromatic. Colour should not change much . Remove and keep aside .
Take jaggery in a pan , add water upto the level of jaggery .
Keep on medium flame and cook.
Cook till the jaggery melts and comes to thick syrup consistency .
*Remember we don’t want any string consistency .
Allow the syrup to cool for just 5 mins .
Add the roasted sooji + fennel seeds to the jaggery syrup and mix well .
[ the syrup should not be very hot while adding the sooji , it has to be warm ]
Mix well , cover and keep aside for absorption for minimum 1 hr – 2 hrs .

METHOD FOR MAKING THE POORIS [ here in this recipe we have to take bigger portion of stuffing and smaller portion dough .There will be more of stuffing than covering ]
Divide the dough into equal portions and roll into smooth balls.
Flatten the balls and roll out into medium sized discs.
Place stuffing in the centre, bring the edges together and pinch to seal.
Press to flatten and roll out gently into medium thick puris.
The pooris should be of medium thickness and the stuffing should not be exposed. Otherwise oil will get spoiled as well as too much oil will be absorbed.
DON’T make the pooris before hand , rolling and frying should be done simultaneously .
Heat ghee/oil in a kadhai for deep frying .
Once the oil is hot, slide in one puri at a time .
Don’t crowd the pan while frying .
Fry on medium-low heat until both sides of the puris are golden brown and crisp.
When the puris raise keep it pressing gently inside oil so that it puffs up. You can pour some hot oil over the pooris to make it puff too.
Drain and remove the puris out on absorbent paper .
Repeat frying the remaining puris.
Stays puffed up for long time. It tastes great when had hot and even after cooling down.
