Iftar time special/ The Ramandan Recipe/ Iftar Special Treats/

Soak lentil for 5-6 hours or overnight and blend it into a smooth paste (use as less water possible). Beat this paste and add cashew nut, raisin and carrot along with a little water. Continue beating till it becomes fluffy. To check the batter, drop it into water; well beaten batter will float. If it isn’t floating, you need to beat it some more. Mix all the ingredients with this batter for fritter and deep fry at medium heat until it becomes golden brown. In a bowl, pour cold water and put add 1 tsp salt in it; soak the fried fritters in this chilled salted water. Let them soak for 1-2 hours. Squeeze the extra water from them and place them on a serving dish. For the yogurt gravy, mix all ingredients together except mint and ½ tsp crushed chili. Beat it to make it smooth. Pour the yogurt mixture over the bora and garnish it with mint and crushed chili. Soak fritter in yogurt for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator before serving.
