How Do You Make Jalebi?
Jalebi is a sweet Indian dessert made of deep fried dough. This recipe will give you about 15-20 jalebis. • Add sugar to a flat based pan and put it on low heat. Add water slowly while mixing, until you get a one string syrup. Add saffron. Mix well. • Mix together 1 cup of refined flour and buttermilk in medium-sized mixing bowl. Stir until smooth. Add water only if necessary. • Cover and let stand overnight at room temperature. • Add remaining flour the next morning, along with the ghee. • Put this mixture into a plastic bag and punch a small hole at the other end. This should be so you can squeeze the dough out like one squeeze’s toothpaste out of a tube. • Heat oil in a wok. • Pour batter into pan in concentric circles, to make spiral shapes. • Fry till it is crisp and golden brown. • Remove from pan and put it into the syrup. • Ensure that it is coated well on both sides for about 1 minute. • Repeat with remaining jalebis. Serve hot on a platter!
