  • Leave it for 4 to 6 hours for fermentation

  • Once the grinding is complete, add rava and make the batter thick enough to dip the dry fruit balls
  • The next step is to make the stuffing
  • Dry roast the nuts until the raw smell leaves and grind it in a mixer
  • Add ghee, dry fruits and give it a good mix
  • After 3 minutes, add elachi and cook until they form a sticky consistency
  • Sprinkle water if needed
  • Water is surely needed if you are using raisins
  • Lastly add the powdered nuts and mix it well
  • Switch off the gas
  • Grease ghee in your palms and make the mix as round balls
  • This needs to be done when the mix is hot else we cannot bind them together
