Imarti, known in some places as Amriti, is an amazing mithai from Uttar Pradesh. A smooth batter of urad is piped out of a cloth bag to make nice, ring-shaped tubes, which are cooked in ghee till crisp and then dipped in sugar syrup.


It takes a bit of practice to pipe the batter directly into the ghee, but you will soon get the hang of it. Moreover, it is completely worth the effort because homemade Imartis, served warm and fresh, are so yummy that you and your family will totally savour the experience!


Whether it is Holi Diwali or Raksha - Bandhan serve these homemade Imartis and make the occasion all the more special.
