Jalebi

Today's recipe is my all time favorite garam garam ( hot hot) jalebi. Made it for the first time and they turned out super good and yummy. Here is the recipe

We need:

Maida or all purpose flour 2 cups

Rice flour 1 1/2 cup

Baking soda 1/4 sp

Plain curd/ yogurt 2sps

Warm water 1 1/4 cup

Saffron 1/2 sp

Sugar 3 cups

Elachi / green cardamon powder 1/2 sp

Water 2 2/3 cup

Oil for deep frying

Method

Mix the maida and rice flour, baking powder, curd and 3/4th cup of the water in a bowl. Mix well with a whisk.

Mix well and then add remaining water and 1/8th tsp. of saffron powder and mix well till smooth.

Set aside for about 2 hours to ferment.

Mix thoroughly before use.

Prepare syrup by dissolving sugar in the water. Just before the syrup is ready add saffron and cardamom powder.

Heat oil in a kadhai. Pour the batter in a steady stream into the kadhai to form coils. Make 4 or 5 at a time.

Deep fry them until they are golden and crisp all over..

Remove from the kadhai and drain on kitchen paper and immerse in the syrup.

Leave for at least 4-5 minutes so that they soak the syrup.

Take them out and serve hot or at room temperature.
