Jalebi
Deep fried crispy goodies soaked in sugar syrup
Ingredients
- 4 cups Bleached all purpose flour
- 4 cups Vegetable oil or Canola oil
- 4 cups Granulated Sugar
Instructions
- Add water to 2 cups flour the day before and mix to make the dough runny. Cover the dough and let sit for overnight.
- Next day you will see some bubbles formed in the dough because of fermentation. Add remaining 2 cups of flour and start mixing the dough until it is without any clumps. Add water as needed to make a batter.
- Make sugar syrup by heating 4 cups Granulated Sugar in 2 cups water. Heat the syrup until it gets thick and turns the color to brownish like maple syrup.
- In a frying pan heat 4 cups Vegetable oil or Canola oil at medium heat and add the batter to a thick cloth that has about a pencil thick hole. Now close the cloth and slowly add the batter to the hot oil as a drip. Roll small circles in the oil as the batter drips from the hole.
- Fry Jalebi on both sides evenly with occasional turning until golden brown color.
- Take off the fried Jalebi with draining off excess oil and immerse in lukewarm sugar syrup. Leave Jalebis immersed for 10 mins.
- Drain the excess syrup. Serve warm Jalebis with cold milk.
