Imarti is a sweet from India.[1] It is made by deep-frying vigna mungo flour batter in a circular flower shape, then soaking in sugar syrup. Alternative names include Amitti, Amriti, Emarti, Omritti, Jahangir and Jhangiri/Jaangiri. This dish is not to be confused with jalebi, which is thinner and sweeter than Imarti.[2]

Amitti is a popular Iftar item in Bangladesh.[3] It is a specialty of Sylheti desserts for Iftari that is made without any food color.[4] Beniram's in Jaunpur is the oldest surviving shop selling imarti.[1]
