- Continue cooking both of them on medium flame.
Keep stirring and press the chana dal with your ladle.

- When it gets the right thickness to turn off the stove, add cardamom powder, give a mix and let it cool down.
- Make small lime size balls with all the stuffing mixture.
- Keep a thick bottom skillet on the stove on medium heat.
- Pour enough oil in the skillet for deep frying.
- Dip a stuffing ball in the batter, let it drip the excess batter and carefully drop the coated ball inside the oil.
- When they turn golden color on both sides it is time to take them out.
- Take them out into a paper napkin to absorb the excess oil.
- Repeat the same process to make all Boorelu
