Introduction: Welcome to our blog, where we'll guide you through the delightful journey of making crispy, golden jalebis right in your kitchen. This classic Indian sweet is loved by people of all ages and is perfect for festivals, celebrations, or simply indulging in a sweet craving. With our simple recipe and easy-to-follow instructions, you'll be whipping up batches of irresistible jalebis in no time!

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (maida)
  • 2 tablespoons gram flour (besan)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1/2 teaspoon saffron strands (optional, for color and flavor)
  • 1 tablespoon yogurt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water for the sugar syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon cardamom powder
  • Ghee or oil for frying

Instructions:

  1. Preparing the Batter:

    • In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, gram flour, and baking powder.
    • Gradually add warm water while whisking to form a smooth batter without any lumps.
    • If using saffron, soak the saffron strands in a tablespoon of warm water for a few minutes, then add it to the batter along with yogurt. Mix well.
    • Cover the batter and let it rest in a warm place for 8-10 hours or overnight. This fermentation process is crucial for the jalebis to get their signature texture and flavor.
  2. Making the Sugar Syrup:

    • In a saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium heat.
    • Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
    • Add cardamom powder and let the syrup simmer for 5-7 minutes until it reaches a one-string consistency. To test, take a drop of syrup between your thumb and index finger; it should form a single thread when stretched.
  3. Frying the Jalebis:

    • Heat ghee or oil in a deep frying pan or kadhai over medium heat.
    • Pour the batter into a squeeze bottle or piping bag with a small nozzle.
    • Once the oil is hot, carefully squeeze the batter into the oil in circular motions to form spiral shapes or pretzel-like shapes. Don't overcrowd the pan.
    • Fry the jalebis until they turn golden brown and crispy on both sides, flipping them once to ensure even cooking.
    • Remove the fried jalebis using a slotted spoon and immediately dip them into the warm sugar syrup, ensuring they are coated evenly.
  4. Serving:

    • Serve the jalebis hot or at room temperature, garnished with chopped nuts like almonds or pistachios if desired.
    • Enjoy these delicious jalebis with a cup of hot chai or as a dessert after a sumptuous meal.
