Instant Crispy Jalebi Recipe

                          

As all of us know that Jalebi is the most loved sweets among Indians and often prepared during festive occasions like Diwali, Ugadi or Gudipadwa. I got this recipe from one of the famous cooking blog and I am really happy for getting this recipe. Usually making jalebi’s takes a lot of time as the batter is required to keep overnight for fermentation. With this Instant recipe one can make jalebi’s within half an hour if all the ingredients are available ready with you. This tastes almost similar to that of normal jalebi that we make by allowing batter to ferment.

Do try this recipe and enjoy. Also do check other Indian sweets recipe in my blog such as Malpua, Coconut Puran Poli, Jalebi, Holige, Ragi Halva and Carrot Halva.

Preparing the Batter:

1. Prepare the batter to make instant jalebi’s and for this take a mixing bowl add sieved all purpose flour, baking powder and food color.
2. Mix it well and keep adding water in small portions in one hand and keep stirring it until lumps dissolves completely.
3. Now add grounded black gram paste and mix thoroughly. The consistency should be little thick than dosa batter and it should be dropping one. Your batter is ready to make jalebi’s.

Preparing the Sugar Syrup:

1. After preparing the batter make preparations for sugar syrup. In a vessel add sugar and water and start heating up.
2. Once the sugar dissolves completely cook for another 5-6 minutes. For jalebi the sugar syrup should be of one thread consistency.
3. Turn off the flame and add cardamom Powder or rose essence and a juice of lemon and mix well.

Making Jalebi’s :

1. Heat oil in a flat pan for deep frying the jalebi. Pour Jalebi batter in a ketch up bottle or cone. The flame should be more than a medium to fry jalebi’s.
2. Once the sufficient heat is received squeeze the batter and start drawing in a circular motion from outer layer to inner. Place jalebi as much possible in to the pan.
3. Flip them when one side has become crisp and similarly fry other side. Once both the sides are crisp dip them in sugar syrup.
4. Start another batch and when you flip the jalebi’s to fry, flip the dipped jalebi’s as well from the previous batch.
5. Just before removing the second batch from the oil transfer the jalebi’s dipped in sugar syrup on to a plate. Repeat the procedure to make rest of the jalebi’s.
6. Your instant jalebi’s are ready to serve.

Note :

1. Adding lemon juice to sugar syrup is to avoid crystallizing.
2. Prepare the jalebi’s how much you require for that day as it may turn soggy the next day.
