JALEBI


I always loved this sweetmeat and as I came here after marriage I literally craved for it but didn’t have it here. So I got together with some friends and we tried different ways, many put yeast in it and it fluffed up like a ballon: ) Then we tried to use simple atta that made it hard.

So finally we used very less ingredients and got a better result and then we thought well its very simple not much into it for best results : )


So here is actually really the best recipe with very few ingredients but top out come!!! Just follow the instructions as is as it’s only a matter of practice. If at first time it doesn’t turn out good that’s normal we really need to be patient and cool : )

I make my own self raising flour always also for all  my cakes, so here you go:

If you don't have SR, follow this recipe:

1 cup flour
1tsp level baking powder
sieve both so that they mix in well together

And now the normal recipe...
To make the batter:
1 cup SR flour
2 pinch yellow food color
cold water to mix

To make the syrup:
3 cups sugar
1 ½ glass water






Method:
Make the sugar syrup, let it cool completely, it should be thick, only then will the jalebi will get its taste.
Mix the flour, with the food color and mix it with COLD water, it will start turning very sticky like glue, keep mixing strongly with a whisker till the batter is very creamy but not runny.

I use the icing set which is used for cakes and fix the tinniest nozzle on it as when you drop the batter in the oil it will increase in size so better use the smallest one, now heat the oil, fill in the icing device, and go round around with it dropping it in the oil and make the form of jalebi .

Don’t fry too long you will feel as the color changes to a light brownish orange, take it out and put it directly in the syrup BUT take it immediately out after 4-5 seconds!! If it stays long it will become very soggy, to have it crunchy you have to hurry, place them on a grill so that the extra syrup runs out, don’t cover them they will stay crunchy 100%

ENJOY and do share your experience :)

  9. Hai like to know how long do u boil ur syrup?

  10. Hello dear Shameema, it takes around 10-15 minutes, you keep checking it as it should be thick but not too thick and must not form Crystal,as then the Jalebi wont absorb properly.
    The syrup has to be of a three threads
    This means when you take a drop between your thumb and index finger and try to open and Close them like a clothespin, you will see fine threads forming.
    Good Luck :)

  12. Dear Anonymous

    So very sorry for this late reply, i missed your post and have seen it now
    It is a measuring cup that i use dear, it is best to keep all the measurements perfect because we all have different types and sizes of cups at home and that can be of a problem :)
    It is best to use the measuring Cup.

    Though Eid has passed but i hope you can still make it :D Good luck!
