Imarti rani

Imarti is a traditional Indian sweet & my favorite too.
Not perfect but taste awesome.

Ingredients

Dhuli urad dal 1 cup

Rice 1/4 cup

Edible orange Color as required

Sugar 5 cups

Rose essence 5 drops

Cardamom powder 1 tsp

Soak dal and rice together for 4 hours. Drain and grind with the color to a soft mixture. 

you need about one cup of water to grind. The batter should not become too thin.

Boil sugar & two and a half cups of water till syrup of single-thread consistency.

Remove from heat. Add rose essence and cardamom powder. Keep the syrup hot.

Heat sufficient oil in a flat thick bottom pan.

Take one ladle full of batter in the imarti cloth, hold tightly and press the batter through the hole into the hot oil. 

For the traditional design, make a small circle and over this make scallops in anti-clockwise direction ending at the starting point. 

Deep fry on both the sides till crisp and light golden brown. Drain the imarti and dip into the sugar syrup.

Let them absorbed syrup. Drain and place the imarti rani on a plate. Serve hot.

• if u don't have imarti cloth u can use thick hanky with small hole.
• for the first-timer switch off the flame & and press the batter through the hole into the hot oil & then on the flame, so u can easily give it perfect shape.

Thank you...
