What is Jalebi

Jalebi is a fried sweet soaked generously in sugar syrup.Spiral shaped crispy sweet dunked in sugar syrup. An Indian Dessert that one can not miss.

Undoubtedly Jalebi hit your calorie parameter up. But it’s difficult to resist when you come across them. In some parts of the country people even enjoy this at the end of breakfast.

People having that Big Sweet tooth hardly think twice before grabbing a Laddo or a slice of Chocolate Cake. A lover for sweet can easily be spoilt for choice in this land of sweet. 

In Indore, the combination of poha & jalebi is quite a famous breakfast and if you are in Rajasthan in wintry days, don’t miss the charm of having doodh-jalebi where Jalebi is served with fragrant milk.

Traditionally they used to ferment the batter using the old batter and besan. A good fermented batter results in crispy jalebis. But don’t expect that you make perfect round-shaped at the very first try, it need practice. After all the taste matters, not the size.

I have used here baking soda which helps in fermentation. You can start the process in the evening. The very next day, your Jalebi batter will be ready. You can enjoy at your breakfast table.

It is believed in Ayurvedic treatment that eating Jalebi made in pure Ghee with a glass of milk in the morning works for migraines.

Any traditional meal is incomplete without a sweet dish, that’s how fragrances of sweets are deeply entrenched into the Indian cuisine.

Varieties of Jalebi

The thickness of the Jalebi creates different variations. While some like a bit thick Jalebi, some enjoy the crispy spirals. Personally I like hot crispy ones with rabdi. You can add a pinch of turmeric powder to the batter. It will result in a nice colorful Jalebis. Also, saffron can be added to the sugar syrup. It brings a distinct flavor to it.

3. After fermentation mix the batter well again. You can add food color at this point if you like ,i really don't prefer. Rather i add a pinch of turmeric which give a nice color.
4. Take a pipping bag ,pour few spoons of batter .Cut the tip to make a small opening.
5. Heat oil .To check temperature of oil ,drop a little batter & it will immediately come up. So you can start making your jalebi at medium flame.

7. Soak them in warm sugar syrup immediately for a minute or two , take them out into a plate.
