Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour (maida)
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 1 cup Yogurt
- 0.5 cup Water
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Yellow or orange food color
- 1.5 cups Sugar
- 0.75 cup Water (for syrup)
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 2 cups Ghee (for frying)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, yogurt, and 1/2 cup water. Mix until it forms a smooth, lump-free batter.
Add the baking soda and food color to the batter. Gently fold to incorporate. Let the batter rest for 10 minutes while you make the sugar syrup.
To prepare the sugar syrup, combine sugar and 3/4 cup water in a saucepan. Heat on medium flame, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.
Add the lemon juice and cardamom powder to the syrup. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the syrup reaches a one-string consistency. Keep the syrup warm.
Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle or piping bag fitted with a round nozzle to form jalebi shapes.
Heat ghee in a wide, shallow pan over medium heat for frying. Test the oil by dropping a small portion of batter; it should sizzle and float up immediately.
Pipe the batter into the hot ghee in spiral shapes, starting from the center to the outside. Fry until golden and crisp on both sides, flipping as needed.
Remove the fried jalebis and immediately soak them in the warm sugar syrup for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Ensure they are well-coated.
Lift the jalebis out of the syrup and let any excess syrup drip off. Serve warm and enjoy their crispy, juicy perfection!
