Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Refined flour (Maida)
- 2 tablespoons Chickpea flour (Besan)
- 0.5 cup Yogurt
- 0.25 cup Water
- 0.25 cup Stevia
- 2 cups Ghee or oil for frying
- 8 strands Saffron strands
- 0.25 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon Juice
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the refined flour and chickpea flour.
Add yogurt to the flour mix and whisk well. Gradually add water to form a smooth batter. The consistency should be thick but flowing.
Add baking powder to the batter and mix gently. Allow the batter to ferment for at least 12 hours in a warm place.
For the syrup, dissolve stevia in 1/4 cup of warm water. Add saffron strands, lemon juice, and cardamom powder. Mix well and let it sit until required.
Once the batter is well-fermented, whisk it to make it smooth.
Heat ghee or oil in a flat-bottomed pan over medium heat.
Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle with a nozzle or use a piping bag.
When the oil is hot enough, squeeze the batter into the oil in a circular motion to form jalebi spirals.
Fry until golden and crispy, turning once to cook both sides evenly. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the jalebi from the oil and immediately dip them in the stevia syrup for a few seconds, then remove to drain excess syrup.
Serve the jalebis hot, garnished with additional saffron strands, if desired.
