  4. Add rice flour, white lentil flour, green cardamom powder and butter and mix it well.

  5. Start adding jaggery water to make a soft dough. You can add extra water.

  6. Roll the dough into small balls and spread them on a plate.

  7. Heat the oil for deep frying. Lower the flame and slowly drop the 5-6 balls in oil.

  8. Deep fry them till it turns to dark brown color. Repeat the same process for the remaining dough. Spread the fried balls on a plate and when it is completely down completely, store it in a airtight container. 

Recipe Notes

Cracks will appear on the balls while frying. Always deep fry them on low flame and keep stirring so that it gets cooked from inside. You can also add 1 tbsp of freshly grated coconut or 1 tsp of sesame seeds.

    Looks very easy to do and probably could be substituted if you can't find jaggery here in the US. Is this a snack or a meal on its own or a side dish to a meal?
