ROSH BORA
- Prep Time: 10 mins
- Cook Time: 30 mins
- Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Urad Dahl
- 1/2 tsp Crushed Fennel seeds,
- 1 Cup + 1 tsp Sugar, divided
- 1 Cup Water
- 2-3 no's Cardamom pods
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
Soak Urad dahl in water for 4-5 hours. Then drain the water completely. Grind it in a mixer/processor as a smooth batter with minimum amount or no water Sprinkle very little, only if necessary.
Pour the batter in a bowl, add fennel seeds, salt and sugar. Beat it with a fork until its airy and nicely fluffed up. This really helps in getting soft and light inside and crispy outside Boras.
Meanwhile prepare a single-thread consistency sugar syrup. Boil sugar and water. Once the sugar dissolves and it comes to a boil, simmer it for around 15-20 minutes. Crush the cardamom pods and along with the skin add it as soon as it comes to boil.
Take a spoonful of batter and drop it in the oil and deep fry them. Strain the excess oil in a tissue paper and soak them in the syrup.
Note:
Grind the batter with very minimum water. If there is excess water in the batter, it might absorb more oil while deep frying. After you grind the batter, beat it with a fork, so that it becomes very fluffy. This makes the fritters/Boras very crispy.
I also noticed that it tasted more good when it is warm. So try serving this as soon as it absorbs enough sugar syrup.
