Jalebi Batter Ingredients:

1 cup maida

1 tsp besan (gram flour)

3 tsp curd

oil - to fry jalebi

2 tsp of ghee

Note: To make the Batter

1. Mix maida, besan, and curd in a bowl and keep it overnight for it to ferment.

2. Batter needs to be smooth and thick in consistency.

Syrup Ingredients (Chashni):

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup water

few saffron strands

1/4 tsp cardamom powder

a pinch orange food color

Rose petals (Optional)

Method: 

1. Next day, whisk batter a little. You can add little water if the batter looks too thick. Add a pinch of food color to it.

2. Add sugar and water to a pan and let it boil. Let it simmer till the syrup becomes sticky and forms one string consistency. 

3. Add cardamom powder and orange color to it and keep it aside.

4. Transfer the jalebi batter to a bottle.

5. Heat oil and ghee together in a pan on a low flame.

6. Squeeze batter in hot oil, making the spiral motion to make the desired shape of jalebi. 

7. Fry till crisp from both sides. Remove from oil and immediately dip it in warm sugar syrup, few seconds on each side is good enough.

Note: If the batter is dispersing in the oil, maybe it's too thin and you need to add some flour to it.

Delicious hot Jalebi-s are ready to serve.
