Jalebi Recipe Direction:

 
Step 1
First of all, we will make sugar syrup. For that, we will put 400 grams of sugar in a deep non-stick vessel add 300 grams of water to it, and put it on the flame to boil. Keep stirring continuously with a spoon until it starts boiling. 
Step 2
When the sugar melts and starts to boil, reduce the flame completely and remove the dirty juice that comes on top of the sugar syrup with the help of a slotted spoon and throw it away. We need to make the sugar syrup sticky like a string syrup. For this, we will lightly stick some sugar syrup between our finger and thumb and see if a string is rising from it, then our sugar syrup is ready. Turn off the flame and add finely ground green cardamom powder and saffron into the sugar syrup and mix it.

Step 3 
Now we will prepare to make jalebi. For that, sieve 400 grams of flour in a fine iron sieve. Then put the flour in a big bowl add water little by little and mix it well with the help of clean washed hands. Keep in mind that a thick paste has to be prepared by adding water little by little to the flour and gradually increasing the amount of water. 
Step 4
Open the Eno sachet completely and put it inside the bowl and by rotating it clockwise, remove all the lumps. We have to keep beating the paste with our hands till the eno bubbles disappear and a smooth paste is ready. When the paste is well smooth and thick, now we will place a flat non-stick pan over the flame and pour cooking oil in it. The cooking oil should be 1 inch deep inside the pan.
Step 5
Now we will take a plastic oil dispenser or a plastic bottle of tomato sauce or a small strong poly bag and cut one corner of it 1 inch thick and fill it with the jalebi paste fold it from the top and tie it with a rubber band. When the oil is heated well, put a drop of paste in it and see if it floats to the top. Then our oil is ready for making jalebi.

 Step 6

Now, as per the steps shown in the picture, we will make two or three rounds of jalebi paste in the oil and lift them. In the same manner, pour in the same amount. As soon as the jalebis float to the top, reduce the flame to medium and let them fry till golden on low flame. After frying lightly golden from one side, turn the jalebi with the help of tongs and fry till golden on both sides by turning them over.
Step 7
When the jalebi is fried golden from both sides, pick it up with the help of tongs put it in the sugar syrup, and press it for four to five seconds with a slotted spoon. By doing this, only the inside of the jalebi will get absorbed. Dip the jalebi in the sugar syrup for five seconds, pick it out, and take it out on a plate.
Step 8
When the jalebi is fried golden from both sides, pick it up with the help of tongs put it in the sugar syrup, and press it for four to five seconds with a slotted spoon.

Tips And Notes

1 – 
If we want to make instant jalebi, then we have to mix Eno in the flour solution. If you prepare the flour solution a night before and keep it covered, then the yeast will rise in it and we will get a better and perfect solution for making jalebi the next day.
2 – Some people add orange food color to the sugar syrup but I never add orange food color to make jalebi. If you want, you can add orange food color to the sugar syrup due to which the color of jalebi becomes dark orange.
3 – You can eat jalebi with milk made of rabri or with fresh curd or eat it soaked in milk. It is very tasty. You must try eating jalebi in this way.
4 – While dipping the jalebi in sugar syrup, keep in mind that the sugar syrup should not be too hot, otherwise our jalebi will become soft after dipping in it.
5 – You can make thick jalebi or thin jalebi as per your choice. Thin jalebi is crispier to eat. Thick jalebi is filled with more juice and is not crispier but it is also tasty to eat.
