Ingredients
For the Jalebi Batter
- 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour maida
- 1/4 cup Gram Flour besan
- 1/2 cup Water
- 2 drops Orange Food Coloring
For Frying & Garnish
- 1 cup Clarified Butter ghee
- 1 cup Cream whipped
- 2 tbsp Chocolate Syrup
- 1/4 cup Pistachios chopped
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, gram flour, water, and orange food coloring until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps.
- Cover the batter with cling wrap and let it rest in a warm place for 6-7 hours. This allows the batter to ferment slightly, resulting in a lighter texture.
- After resting, the batter should appear slightly bubbly and fluffy.
- In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Continue to cook until the syrup reaches a one-thread consistency. To test this, drop a small amount of syrup into cold water; it should form a short, thin thread.
- Heat the desi ghee in a wok or deep skillet over medium-high heat. The ghee is ready when a small drop of batter sizzles gently.
- Carefully pour a small amount of batter into the hot ghee, aiming for a taco shell shape. Fry for 1-2 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Dip the fried jalebi tacos into the warm sugar syrup for about 2 minutes, allowing them to absorb the syrup. Remove and place on a wire rack to drain excess syrup.
- Once the tacos have cooled slightly, fill them with whipped cream.
- Garnish with chopped pistachios and a drizzle of chocolate syrup.
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For crispier taco shells, fry the jalebi batter in a taco shell mold or carefully shape them around a metal rolling pin immediately after frying, while they're still hot and pliable. Let them cool to set the shape before dipping in syrup.
- If you want to infuse extra flavor into your syrup, add a few strands of saffron and a pinch of ground cardamom while boiling.
- For a fusion twist, fill the jalebi tacos with rabri, whipped mascarpone, or even a scoop of ice cream, then finish with toasted pistachios or rose petals.
Expert Tips
- Use a piping bag or squeeze bottle to create consistent jalebi shapes for your tacos.
- Experiment with different fillings! Consider savory options like spiced potatoes or paneer for a unique twist.
- Don't oversoak the jalebi shells in syrup, as this can make them soggy. A quick dip is all you need.
Storage Instructions
- Prepare the taco shells ahead of time and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day. Dip them in warm syrup right before serving to maintain optimal crunch.
