Ingredients

1 cup	urad dal (black gram)
2 cups	water
1 cup	sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Wash the urad dal thoroughly under running water and then soak it in 2 cups of water for about 3-4 hours.
2. 2 Drain the soaked dal and grind it to a smooth batter using minimal water. The batter should be thick.
3. 3 Add a pinch of salt to the batter and mix well.
4. 4 Heat ghee or oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
5. 5 Take a small portion of the batter, shape it into small flat discs, and gently slide them into the hot oil.
6. 6 Fry the discs until they turn golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove them using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
7. 7 In a separate pan, combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water to make a sugar syrup. Add cardamom powder and bring it to a boil until it reaches a one-string consistency.
8. 8 Dip the fried discs into the warm sugar syrup, ensuring they are well coated. Let them soak for a few minutes.
9. 9 Remove the Jhili from the syrup and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
