Amrit Phal
This Amrit Phal is a sweet dish wherein we make doughnuts and dip these in sugar syrup. They are prepared like gulab jamuns but are different to taste. They are indeed delightful.
Cooking time: 30 min
Serves: 4-5
Ingredients:
- ½ kg sugar
- 250 gms maida
- 250 gms unsweetened khova
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup curd
- A pinch of saffron
- ½ tsp cardamom powder
- 1 tbsp rose water
- 1 tbsp ghee
- Oil for frying
- Chopped almonds for garnish
Method:
For preparing doughnuts:
Take khova in a bowl. Smash it well so that there are no lumps. Add maida, salt and baking soda. Mix all these ingredients with curd, adding gradually. If the dough is rough, add some maida to it. The dough should be soft in texture. Rub ghee to give a rich taste.
Heat oil in a pan for deep-frying. Meanwhile prepare doughnuts- Take a small ball of dough, slightly press it between your palms and make a hole in the center.
When the oil is ready for frying, reduce the flame and fry these doughtnuts till they are brown in color.
Take them on a plate and set aside. Allow them to cool to room temperature.
For sugar syrup:
Take sugar in a pan. Pour ½ cup water and make syrup with string consistency. To know whether the syrup is done pour the syrup with a spoon from above. When the last drop falls like a string, then it is done.
Mix saffron soaked in warm milk, rose water and cardamom powder to this syrup. Mix well.
Drop the doughnuts one by one into the syrup. Let the doughnuts absorb the syrup.
Take them on a plate and garnish with chopped nuts.
