Instructions

Wash Urad Daal and Basmati rice and soak in water for 5 hours.
The rice and daal mix should be puffed up little bit after soaking . Drain the excess water and mix them to blend.
Blend the batter with minimum amount of water approximately 3/4th cup or 150ml water. The mixture should look like this.
Soak some Saffron strings in hot water and cover it to save the smell for 15 to 20 minutes.

Now add Ghee for flavor and Lime juice so the sugar should not form crystal.
Take either ziplog bag or plastic squeezable bottle and pour the batter in it. For Ziplog bag cut the corner to make a tiny hole so the batter can fall smoothly.
Make the oil hot and put the oven in medium sim. Now start making the Amirti and fry them each side approximately 1 minute.
Now take each amriti and dip it in the sugar syrup both sides.
Take out from the syrup and let the extra syrup drain and the Amriti is ready.
