Detailed Recipe:
Recipe:

Wash the Dal thoroughly. Soak it in water for about five hours or overnight.

Grind it to a smooth paste after soaking. Roughly crush, fennel seeds and cardamom together. Added to the dal paste along with a pinch of salt.

Whisk it continuously till the batter is fluffy. It takes about 5-7 minutes.

You can either whisk it with a whisker or use your hands. When you mix it with your hand, it will take more than 10 minutes.

Take a bowl of water and drop a small amount of the mix. If it floats, the batter is ready. Rest the batter for 1 hour.

In the meanwhile, make the syrup water by boiling 4-5 cups of water. Add the jaggery and cardamom. Bring it to simmer. Let it cook on low flame for 10mins. Switch off the flame and keep aside.

Make small boras/pakoras and drop them in oil. Fry till they are lightly golden.

Take them out of the oil and drop them into the jaggery water. Keep it soaked for a few more hours before serving.
