Cuisine : Indian
Servings : 2-4

For the sugar syrup

Sugar – 1cup
Water –3/4 cup
Cardamom pods – 2-3
Saffron – a few strands
Lemon juice – 1 tsp

For the jalebi batter

Flour – 1cup
Cornflour –1 tbsp
Curd – 2tbsp
Water – 1/2 to ¾ cup (or as required for a semi thick batter)
Baking soda (to be added in the end) – 1 tsp
Ghee – for deep frying

To make the syrup, add sugar, water, cardamom pods & saffron strands in a saucepan and cook till the sugar dissolves and the consistency is such that when you check, there should be one string between the index finger and the thumb.
Once done, put out the flame and allow the syrup to cool slightly.
Heat ghee in a kadhai.
Now take a mixing bowl & add the flour, cornflour, curd & water & make a smooth, lump-free batter.
Add baking soda to the batter just when ready to fry & give it a quick whisk. Do not over mix.
Fill the batter in a piping bottle or an empty sauce bottle & start piping the jalebis in hot ghee.
Fry the jalebis till they turn crispy & then directly add them into the syrup (syrup should be warm, not too hot or too cold )
Remove the jalebis from the syrup onto a cooling rack for a few seconds to let the excess syrup drip off.
Then serve hot with Fafdas or just as is!
