how to make batter for jalebi
    how to make batter for jalebi
  1. In a small bowl, add 1/4 tsp of citric acid (nimbu ka phool). Citric acid helps create an acidic environment that aids the fermentation process of the batter. This fermentation makes the jalebis lighter and crispier.
  2. Add 1 1/4 cups warm water in a bowl.
  3. Mix well.
  4. Add 1½ cups of plain flour (maida). Plain flour forms the base of the batter, giving jalebis their structure and body.
  5. Add 1 tbsp besan (bengal gram flour). Besan has a naturally yellowish hue, which contributes to the golden color of jalebis. It also helps bind the ingredients together in the batter.
  6. Mix very well using your hands for 2 to 3 minutes. Even mixing ensures a smooth batter without any lumps. Lumps can cause uneven cooking and affect the final texture of the jalebi. A smooth batter flows easily, allowing you to create the classic jalebi spirals.
  7. Cover it with a lid and keep aside to ferment in a warm place for 6 to 8 hours. The main benefit of fermentation is the development of a slightly tangy or sour flavor in the jalebi. This adds another dimension of taste to the sweet treat.
  8. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, add 1/4 tsp saffron.
  9. Add 1 tsp hot water.
  10. Mix well and keep aside.
  11. Once fermented, add half of the saffron water mixture in the batter.
  12. Mix very well.

how to make sugar syrup
    how to make sugar syrup
  1. In a deep non-stick pan, add 2 cups of sugar. Sugar dissolves in the water, creating a concentrated sugar solution that coats the jalebis and provides the intense sweetness that jalebis are known for.
  2. Add 1 1/3 cup of water.
  3. Mix well and cook on a high flame for 7 minutes.
  4. Add cardamom (elaichi) powder.
  5. Add half of the saffron-water mixture into the sugar syrup.
  6. Mix well. Keep aside.
