Instructions
- Drain the water from the masoor dal and grind it into a coarse paste by adding little water.
- Transfer the paste into a bowl and add salt and turmeric powder. Mix well.
- Heat a kuzhi paniyaram pan and drop a spoonful of batter into each cavity. Drop a few drops of oil in each cavity. Flip when the bottom portion is browned well. Brown both sides evenly.
- You can do this on shallow frying pan too, but the shapes will be dissimilar. When the edges turn golden, flip them over and fry on the other side till both the sides are golden and crisp.

- Now add the kokum water (in which kokum has been soaked) and some more water, sugar. Let it simmer for a minute.
- Mix flour in 2 tbsp water and make a paste. Add it into the pan. Stir it well to avoid lumps
- Add fritters into the pan and let it simmer for 2 more minutes
