First, melt jaggery with a little water. Strain it to remove any impurities and keep it nearby.- 3
Heat ghee in a pan, add coconut strips, and fry until light brown. Set aside.- 4
Slowly add wheat flour in small portions to the jaggery syrup and knead into a sticky dough.- 5
Add baking soda, banana (mashed), cumin seeds, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything well.- 6
Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 2 hours.- 7
After resting, add the fried coconut strips to the dough and knead lightly.- 8
Divide the dough into equal-sized portions.- 9
Heat enough oil for deep frying in a pan.- 10
Wet your hands, shape each portion into small balls, and gently drop them into the hot oil.- 11
Cook on low flame to ensure the inside is cooked properly. If the flame is too high, the outside will brown too fast while the inside remains uncooked.- 12
Fry until each ball turns golden brown and crispy on the outside.- 13
Undampori is ready! Let it cool slightly and serve with hot tea. - 2
