Transfer the Stuffing ( Poornam) into a plate and leave it open for the moisture to evaporate and the stuffing to become thick.
Mix the maida gently with salt and warm water and knead to a soft dough. Make small balls and spread like how we make puris. Take one spoon full of stuffing ( poornam) and pack it inside the dough. You can either use a fork or a puff maker (Somas aachi) to make it into a desired shape as shown in the above picture.
Once u finish all the stuffing and packing keep it aside. Heat oil in a pan and fry the puffs in medium flame till it turns golden brown.
