Ingredients

• 1 cup Urad dal (split black gram)
• 0.25 cup Rice flour (gluten-free)
• 0.5 cup Water
• 0.25 teaspoon Food color (optional)
• 2 cups Sugar
• 1 cup Water (for syrup)
• 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
• 1 liter Ghee or oil (for frying)
• 0.5 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the urad dal thoroughly and soak it in enough water for 2 to 3 hours.

Step 2

Drain the soaked urad dal and add it to a blender. Add rice flour and water gradually while grinding to form a thick, smooth batter. The consistency should be similar to a piping batter.

Step 3

Add a pinch of salt and the food color to the batter if using, and mix well.

Step 4

For the sugar syrup, in a separate saucepan, combine 2 cups of sugar with 1 cup of water. Stir to dissolve and bring it to a boil.

Step 5

Once the syrup reaches a single-string consistency, add cardamom powder and lemon juice. Remove from heat and set aside, ensuring it stays warm but not boiling.

Step 6

Heat ghee or oil in a heavy-bottomed pan on medium heat for deep frying.

Step 7

Fill a piping bag fitted with a round nozzle or a clean muslin cloth with a small hole with the jangri batter.

Step 8

Pipe out circular shapes directly into the hot oil, keeping the flame on medium. Fry until they turn crispy golden, flipping to cook both sides evenly.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the jangri from the oil and immediately dip them into the warm sugar syrup. Let them soak for at least a minute before removing them onto a plate.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining batter.

Step 11

Serve the gluten-free jangri warm or at room temperature.
