Ingredients
Batter
- 1 cup All-Purpose Flour maida
- 1 tbsp Corn Flour
- ½ cup Yogurt
- ¼ cup Water
- ½ tsp Baking Soda
- ¼ tsp Kesar Food Coloring optional
For Frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the yogurt and baking soda. Whisk well and let it rest for 10 minutes to activate the baking soda. This will create a light and airy batter.
- Add the all-purpose flour, corn flour, and optional kesar food coloring to the yogurt mixture. Whisk until just combined. Gradually add water, a little at a time, until you achieve a smooth, lump-free batter with a flowing consistency. The batter should be thick enough to hold its shape but thin enough to pipe easily. Avoid overmixing.
- To prepare the sugar syrup, combine the sugar and water in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar.
- Continue boiling the syrup until it reaches a one-string consistency. To test this, dip a spoon into the syrup and lift it; a single, thin string of syrup should form between the spoon and the surface of the syrup. Remove the syrup from the heat and keep it warm.
- Transfer the jalebi batter to a piping bag or a squeeze bottle with a small, round tip. Alternatively, you can use a zip-top bag with a small corner snipped off.
- Heat the ghee in a wide, shallow pan over medium heat. To check if the ghee is hot enough, drop a small amount of batter into the hot ghee. It should sizzle gently and rise to the surface quickly. If it browns too quickly, reduce the heat.
- Pipe the batter into the hot ghee in a spiral motion, creating concentric circles to form the jalebi shape. Fry the jalebis for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy, ensuring the heat remains between low and medium for even cooking.
- Remove the fried jalebis from the ghee and gently shake off any excess oil. Immediately immerse the hot jalebis in the warm sugar syrup, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure they soak up the syrup. Let them soak for 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer the soaked jalebis to a serving plate. Repeat the frying and soaking process with the remaining batter. Serve warm and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Good To Know
- For extra-crispy jalebis, let the batter rest for 10–15 minutes before frying to allow the baking soda and yogurt to react.
- Use a piping bag or squeeze bottle with a narrow tip for perfectly round spirals.
- Infuse the sugar syrup with saffron strands and cardamom powder for an aromatic touch.
Expert Tips
- Monitor the ghee temperature carefully; if it's too hot, the jalebis will brown too quickly without cooking through, and if it's too cool, they'll absorb too much ghee and become soggy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan while frying; fry in batches to maintain an even temperature and ensure proper cooking.
- For a richer flavor, use ghee instead of oil for frying.
Storage Instructions
- Store leftover jalebis in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
- Reheat briefly in an oven or on a nonstick pan to restore crispiness.
