Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Urad dal (split black gram)
- 2 tablespoons Rice flour
- 1 pinch Orange food color
- 2 cups Sugar
- 1.5 cups Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 10 strands Saffron strands
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 3 cups Ghee (for deep frying)
Instructions
Rinse the urad dal thoroughly in water and soak it for 2 to 3 hours.
Drain the soaked dal and grind it to a smooth batter by adding minimal water gradually. The batter should be thick.
Add rice flour, orange food color, and mix well to achieve a uniform batter consistency.
Fill the batter into a piping bag or a squeeze bottle with a small hole, perfect for making spiral shapes.
To make sugar syrup, combine sugar and water in a saucepan. Heat gently while stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Increase the heat and cook the syrup until it reaches a one-string consistency. Add cardamom powder, saffron strands, and lemon juice. Mix well and keep the syrup warm.
Heat ghee in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
When the ghee is hot, directly pipe the batter into the hot oil to make small spiral shapes. Fry until golden and crisp.
Remove the fried jangris using a slotted spoon, draining off excess ghee.
Immediately immerse them in the warm sugar syrup and allow them to soak for 4 to 5 minutes.
Remove from syrup and arrange them on a plate to cool slightly.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your festive jangris!
