Soak the imli in hot water for 15-30 minutes, after soaking squeeze out the pulp from imli for easier straining. Set wok on low heat, add oil and the powdered spices and cook them briefly without burning.
Now, use a sieve and strain the imli pulp along with its water and add additional 2 liters of water, discard the imli remains in the sieve.
Now add, chopped khajoor, grated gud, black slat, and salt to taste, mix well to dissolve the gud, cover, and cook on a medium flame for 15-20 minutes.
