Steps

1

First, wash the urad dal thoroughly, then soak it in water overnight.
2

In the morning, drain the water and grind the dal in a blender until smooth. After grinding, add food coloring (if using) and arrowroot powder, then beat the mixture well.
3

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup water and the sugar. Stir to dissolve the sugar, then cook over heat until it forms a one-string consistency syrup. This is an important step, so pay close attention.
4

To check the syrup, take a little on a spoon, let it cool, and press it between your fingers. If it forms a single thread when you pull your fingers apart, the syrup is ready.
5

Once the syrup is ready, heat ghee in a flat-bottomed pan. Fill a cloth piping bag or a thick cloth with 3-4 tablespoons of the beaten dal batter.
6

Hold the cloth tightly from the top and squeeze to pipe out round, flower-shaped Imartis into the hot ghee. Fry until they are crisp.
7

After frying, remove the Imartis from the ghee and dip them in the sugar syrup. Let them soak for 15-20 minutes, then remove.
8

Your delicious Imarti sweet is ready. Serve hot on a plate.
