Ingredients:

To make the perfect Jalebi, you will need the following ingredients:

• For the Batter:
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (maida)
  • 2 tablespoons cornflour
  • 1 tablespoon gram flour (besan)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon turmeric powder (for color)
  • 1 tablespoon yogurt
  • Water (as needed to make a smooth batter)
  • 1 teaspoon ghee or clarified butter (for added flavor)
• For the Sugar Syrup:
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon saffron strands (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice (to prevent crystallization)
• For Frying:
  • Ghee or oil (for deep frying)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Batter:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornflour, gram flour, baking powder, and turmeric powder.
   • Add yogurt and mix well. Gradually add water to the mixture, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. The batter should be smooth and of a pouring consistency.
   • Stir in the ghee for added richness and flavor.
   • Cover the batter and let it ferment for at least 2 hours in a warm place. Fermentation will give the Jalebi its characteristic tangy taste.

2. Make the Sugar Syrup:

   • While the batter is fermenting, prepare the sugar syrup. In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
   • Add saffron strands and cardamom powder to the syrup for flavor.
   • Once the sugar has dissolved and the syrup reaches a one-thread consistency, add lemon juice to prevent crystallization. Keep the syrup warm.

3. Frying the Jalebi:

   • Heat ghee or oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
   • Pour the batter into a piping bag or a squeeze bottle with a small nozzle. Squeeze the batter into the hot oil in a spiral or concentric circle pattern, forming the classic Jalebi shape.
   • Fry the Jalebi until they are golden and crispy on both sides.
   • Remove the Jalebi from the oil and immediately immerse them in the warm sugar syrup for a few seconds. Ensure they are well-coated with the syrup.
   • Transfer the Jalebi to a plate and allow the excess syrup to drain off.

4. Serving:

   • Serve the Jalebi hot or at room temperature. They can be enjoyed on their own or paired with warm milk or rabri for an extra indulgence.
