Jalebi

Ingredients:

For Batter

• All Purpose Flour – 1/2 cup

• Gram Flour (Besan) – 1 tsp

• Yeast – 1/2 tsp

• Sugar – 1/2 tsp

• Cardomom Powder – 1/4 tsp

• Warm Water – 1/3 cup (or as required)

• Oil – to make dough

For Syrup

• Sugar – 1 cup

• Water – 1/2 cup

• Cardomom Powder – 1/4 tsp

• Saffron – 1/4 tsp

• Lemon Juice (optional) – 1/2 tsp

Method:

To make the batter

• Dissolve the yeast in warm water, mix well and let it stay for 10 mins.

• Mix all the remaining ingredients to the yeast mixture and knead well with hand enough to make a ball and ensuring no lumps are left behind.

• Keep this aside to ferment in a warm place for around 2 hours.

To make the syrup

• Boil everything together on medium heat.

• Keep stiring continuously so that sugar dissolves well and doesn’t settle at the bottom.

To make Jalebis

• Heat oil in a frying pan. Fill the batter in a ketchup bottle.

• Squeeze the batter out of the ketchup bottle in the hot oil in a shape of a jalebi.

• Fry the Jalebis until golden-brown on both sides.

• Transfer immediately into the warm syrup and let them soak for around a minute to a minute and half.
