Selviem thanks , for giving me an idea for something for tea.
Sooji appam is quite forgotten because of the frying.
Diamond biscuits are all time favourite.

Selviem, there are many methods to do this both items.
Soojii appam can also be cooked on dosai kal, just like boli.
The normal method is to fry it in oil.

The diamond biscuits are also made in many methods.
You can fry the biscuits and sprinkle castor sugar, or add sugar
to the dough and fry it.
There is also a savoury version of this biscuit.

I will show you, how I make.
If it is not as what you expected, I am sorry Selviem.
Thanks. Kugan98

Suvai nga, if you do not have the sun, you only cannot make the chunda.
You can add little vinegar to other pickles to keep them from going bad.
I have few more recipes of pickles.
We also always have "uppil ooriya lime, and mangoes"
So when ever we want pickle, we do it instantly.
Thanks. Kugan98

DIAMOND BISCUITS

Ingredients:

1 cup all purpose flour
3 tbs sugar
¼ tsp salt
2 tsps of ghee or oil
½ cup of warm water ( use only as much as needed)
A tiny pinch of cooking soda (optional)
Oil for frying

Method:

Mix the flour, salt, sugar and ghee.
Mix all the ingredients well.
Now add the water slowly and knead it into
a not so soft dough.

Roll out the dough to a circle. Not very thin.
Make a vertical cut first, and then a horizontal cut.
This forms diamond shapes.
(I have cut them small, you can cut how big you want.)
Now deep fry them in oil. You get crisp biscuits.
When cool, store them in air tight containers.

SOOJII APPAM

Ingredients:

1 ½ cups of all purpose flour
Little salt
Water as needed

1 cup roasted soojii
1 ¼ cups of sugar
2 tbs of ghee
1 ¾ cups of water
1 tbs chopped cashew nuts roasted
A pinch of cardamom powder
A pinch of salt
Oil for frying

Method:
Mix the flour with the salt, add water little by
little and knead it into a soft dough.
Like what we do for boli.
Keep it covered for ½ an hour.

Add the sugar and water in a wok, cook until the sugar
is dissolved. Add 1 tbs of ghee, and cardamom powder
and allow to boil once.
Slow the flame, add in the roasted sooji, little by little.
Stir well till it is cooked and forms into a ball.
Add in the other tbs of ghee, mix well and remove.
Add in the roasted cashew nuts, mix well and let it cool.

When cool shape the soojii mixture into lime sized balls.
Take a little kneaded all purpose flour mixture.
Cover the soojii ball with the kneaded flour.
Take a plastic paper, apply little oil on it.
Now put the prepared ball and pat it into a round disc.
See that it is not very thick.

Now heat the oil on medium flame.
Fry each appam on both sides till cooked.
Drain them on oil paper.
Serve for tea.

IN The Tray:
the kneaded flour, sooji balls,
and the patted sooji appam
