Jalebi

Here's a simple recipe of jalebi



Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup gram flour (besan)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1/4 cup ghee or oil

1 cup lukewarm water

Food color (optional)

Cardamom powder or kewra essence for flavor

For the syrup

1 cup granulated sugar

1 cup water

1 tablespoon rose water (optional)

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Instructions

Make the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, gram flour, salt, and baking soda. Gradually add the ghee or oil and mix well. Add the lukewarm water and mix until a smooth, thick batter forms. Add food color or flavorings, if desired.

Rest the batter: Cover the batter and let it rest for 2-3 hours or overnight.

Make the syrup: In a saucepan, combine the sugar, water, rose water (if using), and lemon juice. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Bring the syrup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes.

Fry the jalebi: Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Pour the rested batter into a piping bag or a plastic bag with a corner cut off. Pipe the batter into spiral shapes, starting from the outside and working your way in. Fry the jalebi for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

Soak in syrup: Remove the fried jalebi from the oil and soak them in the warm syrup for at least 30 minutes.

Serve: Serve the jalebi warm or at room temperature, garnished with chopped pistachios or almonds, if desired.

Tips and Variations

Use a jalebi maker or a piping bag with a round tip to create the spiral shape.

Adjust the amount of sugar in the syrup to your taste.

Add a few drops of kewra essence or cardamom powder to the syrup for extra flavor.

Experiment with different flavors, such as saffron or orange blossom water.

Serve jalebi with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a decadent treat.

Enjoy your crispy, sweet, and delicious homemade jalebi!
