Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Rice flour
- 0.5 cup Tapioca flour
- 0.5 cup Yogurt
- 0.75 cup Water
- 1 cup Sugar
- 10 strands Saffron strands
- 0.25 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 cups Ghee or oil (for frying)
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, tapioca flour, yogurt, water, and turmeric. Mix well to form a smooth, thick batter. Cover and let it ferment for 12-24 hours in a warm place.
Once the batter is fermented, add baking powder and mix gently to incorporate evenly.
In a saucepan, dissolve the sugar in half a cup of water over medium heat to make a sugar syrup. Once it starts boiling, add saffron strands and cardamom powder.
Let the syrup boil until it reaches one-string consistency. Turn off the heat and add lemon juice to prevent crystallization. Keep the syrup warm.
Heat ghee or oil in a flat-bottomed pan on medium heat for frying.
Transfer the batter into a squeeze bottle or a piping bag with a small nozzle.
Squeeze the batter into the hot oil in a spiral motion to form jalebis. Fry the jalebis until they turn golden and crispy on both sides.
Remove jalebis from oil, draining excess oil on paper towels briefly, then immediately submerge them into the warm sugar syrup.
Let the jalebis soak in the syrup for 1-2 minutes to absorb the sweetness, then remove and serve warm.
