  2. 3/4 cup and 2 and 1/2 teaspoon hung curd
  3. 3 and 1/4 tablespoon ghee
  4. 1 cup and 3 and 1/4 tablespoon sugar
  5. 2 strand saffron
  6. 1/4 teaspoon green cardamom
  7. 3 and 1/4 tablespoon cornflour
  8. 1 pinch baking soda
  9. 3/4 cup and 2 and 1/2 teaspoon sunflower oil
  10. 1 cup and 3 and 1/4 tablespoon water
  11. 1 and 1/2 drops rose essence
  12. 1/4 teaspoon edible food color

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare the Jalebi batter and let it ferment overnight

To make this easy Jalebi recipe, mix together all-purpose flour, cornflour, and baking soda in a bowl. Now, add ghee and food color to the above mixture. To make a thick batter add hung curd and water. Mix well until it is thick but has a slightly flowing consistency. Keep it aside for 8-10 hours to ferment. This step is important to give that unique "khatta" taste to Jalebi. To make the sugar syrup, heat water in a pan over medium flame. Add sugar and mix until fully dissolved. Simmer the syrup until it attains one string consistency. Add saffron, cardamom powder, and rose essence. Stir well.

Step 2

Deep fry the Jalebis

Now, heat oil in a pan over medium flame for deep frying. Fill the jalebi batter in a muslin cloth and pierce a small hole in the cloth. Squeeze the muslin cloth to make concentric circles. Move from inside to outside to make perfect circles. Fry till jalebis are crisp and golden.

Step 3:

Soak the Jalebis in sugar syrup and 2-3 minutes and serve warm with Rabri

Soak the jalebis in sugar syrup for 2-3 minutes. Ensure that the sugar syrup is warm and not very hot. Now, remove it from the syrup and place it on a tray lined with butter paper or foil. Decorate with silver foil (optional) and serve the jalebis hot, warm, or at room temperature with creamy Rabri. Note: To make the jalebi even more delicious, add a little bit of ghee to the batter, this will give your jalebi that perfect aroma. To the crispy Jalebi, don't forget to ferment the batter overnight.

Tips:

The most important part of making Jalebi at home is to have the right consistency of your Jalebi batter. It should not be too thin or thick. Make sure your batter is of flowing so...

Traditionally, the Jalebi batter is fermented for 10-12 hours in warmth. But, if you live in a cold place, you must ferment it for 24 hours.

While frying the Jalebis, make sure the flame is on low. High heat will leave it uncooked from the inside. This will also give you ample time to give your Jalebis the best shape.

For Instant Jalebis, mix together all-purpose flour, cornflour, and a little turmeric. Then, add curd and water to it and whisk well in one direction to make a smooth batter.
