Amarti Jalebi : A Sweet and Savory Delight

Amarti is a traditional sweet dish made from urad dal (a type of lentil) and sugar syrup. It is typically yellow in color and has a flower-like shape. Amarti is often served cold and is a popular dessert during festivals and special occasions.

The exact origins of Amarti are unknown, but it is believed to have originated in the Thar Desert region of Rajasthan. The dish is said to have been created by a group of women who were looking for a way to use up leftover urad dal. They created a batter from the dal and deep-fried it in oil. The resulting fritters were then soaked in sugar syrup and enjoyed as a sweet treat.

Amarti is still a popular dish in Pakistan and India today. It is often made at home during festivals and special occasions. The dish is also available at many restaurants and sweet shops in the state.

Excellent photo of Amrati @AmirAnsari-PK

Aso called Imarti out here in Pune, sometimes we make at home but mostly purchase from a famous sweet shop in town.

I am sure our foodie friend @KashifMisidia from Karachi also loves this post and the Imarti and perhaps also knows this place.
