INGRIDIENT

• 3/4 cup idli rice
• ¼ cup Whole Urad dal
• Oil for Deep frying
• 2 cup sugar
• 1 cup Water

METHOD
• Take rice and urad dal in a bowl. wash it well, soak them in water for 2 hours. Drain them and add it to a blender, add very little water at a time and make it into a thick smooth paste. It doesn’t have to be very smooth, the rice will remain little grainy, that is not a issue.
• Now make the sugar syrup, take sugar and water in a sauce pan. Heat it and Mix it well till the sugar is melted. boil it for 6 to 8 mins till it gets little thick and syrupy. You have to keep this syrup warm till you dip the mittai.
• Now heat some oil for deep frying.
• Take a empty sauce or water bottle. ( if using water bottle. make the small hole on the cap). fill it with the dough and make round design over hot oil. Fry till crispy on both sides. Drain this.
• Dip this in sugar syrup for 1 to 2 min on each side.
• Drain it and serve.

NOTES

1)The batter should be thick, so add very little water while grinding.
2)When frying you have to fry till the outer crust gets crispy. So it stays crispy even when soaked in syrup.
3)Leave it only 2 mins in syrup. It will absorb it quickly.
4)This taste best when hot or warm.
