Jalebi Recipe

 

To make jalebi, you will need the following ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons cornflour
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon citric acid (or lemon juice)
• 1 cup water
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 cups oil (for frying)

Here is a step-by-step guide on how to make jalebi:

 

 

1. In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, cornflour, baking powder, and citric acid to form a smooth batter.

2. Add water to the batter, one tablespoon at a time, until the batter is smooth and of flowing consistency.

3. Heat the oil in a deep fryer or large, deep saucepan until it reaches 375°F.

4. Transfer the batter to a squeeze bottle or a large plastic bag with one corner cut off.

5. Squeeze the batter into the hot oil in circular motions to form the jalebi shape.

6. Fry the jalebi for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crisp.

7. Remove the jalebi from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

8. In a small saucepan, bring the sugar and 1/2 cup of water to a boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.

9. Dip the jalebi in the syrup for a few seconds on each side, then transfer to a plate.

10. Serve the jalebi hot or at room temperature. Enjoy!
