Jalebis - My love!

I love desserts!

And I love Jalebis!!

I have tried Jalebis with a lot different recipes before. The yeast, the yogurt, the gram flour and sometimes semolina too. I never got the crispy-ness. So this time around I thought I'd use a different recipe. This is the most simplest and the easiest one ever. I would say, this recipe had a

better outcome. Or maybe I have become a better cook now ;)

Recipe

1 cup flour

1tsp level baking powder

2 pinch yellow food colour

3 cups sugar

1 ½ glass water

cold water to mix

Make the sugar syrup, let it cool completely, it should be thick, only then the jalaibi will get it’s taste.

Mix the flour, with the food colour and mix it with COLD water, it will start turning very sticky like a glue, keep mixing strongly with a whisker till the batter is very creamy but not runny.

I use the icing set which is used for cakes and fix the tinniest nozzle on it as when you drop the batter in the oil it will raise in size so better use the smallest one, now heat the oil, fill in the icing device, and go round round with it dropping it in the oil and make the form of jalaibi .

Don’t fry too long you will feel as the colour changes to a light brownish orange, take it out and put it directly in the syrup BUT take it immediately out after 4-5 seconds!! If it stays long it will become very soggy, to have it crunchy you have to hurry, place them on a grill so that the extra syrup runs out, don’t cover them they will stay crunchy 100% !!!

Now enjoy and eat my share too
