Ingredients
For the Jalebi Batter
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour maida
- 2 tbsp Gram Flour besan; adds texture
- 1/4 cup Yogurt curd
- 1/2 cup Water adjust for desired consistency
- 1 tsp Baking Soda eno fruit salt
For Frying
- 2 cup Vegetable Oil for deep frying
For the Sugar Syrup
- 1 cup Sugar
- 3/4 cup Water
- 2-3 drops Food Coloring orange; or other desired color
- 10-12 strands Saffron strands
- 1 tsp Cardamom elaichi; powder
For Garnish (Optional)
- 1 tbsp Pistachios sliced
- 1 tbsp Almonds sliced
- Pinch Silver Leaf vegetarian vark recommended
- 1/4 cup Rabri or mawa; homemade or store-bought, optional
Instructions
Prepare the Jalebi Batter
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, gram flour, yogurt, and water until smooth. Add the Eno fruit salt and gently mix; do not overmix.
Fry the Jalebis
- Heat the oil or ghee in a large, deep pan over medium heat. Using a jalebi maker or a piping bag with a star tip, carefully pipe the batter into the hot oil, forming swirling circles. Fry until golden brown on both sides, flipping gently halfway through.
Make the Sugar Syrup
- In a saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Reduce heat to a simmer. Add the saffron strands, orange food coloring, and cardamom powder. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until it reaches a one-thread consistency.
Soak and Garnish
- Carefully remove the fried jalebis and immediately immerse them in the warm sugar syrup for about 30 seconds per side, ensuring they absorb the syrup evenly. Remove from the syrup and let excess drip off.
Serve
- Garnish with rabri or mawa, sliced pistachios, almonds, and silver vark (optional). Serve warm and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Jalebis
- For extra crispy jalebis, ensure the oil is hot enough before frying. A drop of batter should sizzle immediately.
- Don't overcrowd the pan while frying; fry in batches to maintain the oil temperature and ensure even cooking.
- The sugar syrup should be the right consistency – it should coat the back of a spoon and form a thin thread when lifted.
- For a richer flavor, use ghee instead of oil for frying.
