Hey Steemit guys. Today, I'll be having some more sweets (Oh man, my weight.) This common sweet is called Jalebi.
Here are the following ingredients
- Refined flour (maida) 1 cup
- Yogurt 1/2 cup
- Sugar 3 cups
- Milk 1 tablespoon
- Saffron (Kesar) a few
- Ghee for deep-frying
As you can see, it is a flour-based sweet. It has a crunchy and very glossy look to it. It usually has a Spiral design and size can vary in size. So basically, the smaller, the crispier and the larger, the juicer. Thy just melts in your mouth after they become jelly-like.
Method
Step 1
In a large bowl, whisk refined flour, yogurt and sufficient water to a smooth and pouring consistency batter. Cover and keep in a warm place to ferment for 24 hours.
Step 2
Beat the batter with your hands again for 15 minutes. Cook sugar with 2 cups water in a deep non-stick pan on high heat, stirring continuously, till the sugar dissolves.
Step 3
Add milk and when the scum rises to the top, collect it with a ladle and discard.
Step 4
Add saffron and cook, stirring, till the syrup reaches one string consistency. Keep the syrup warm. Heat sufficient ghee in a Kadai on medium heat.
Step 5
Pour some batter onto a jalebi cloth, gather the edges and make a tight potli.
Step 6
Squeeze round spirals into the hot ghee and deep fry, turning them over gently a few times, till they are evenly golden and crisp.
Step 7
Drain and soak in sugar syrup for 2-3 minutes. Take them out of the syrup and serve hot.
Note that it is high in calories. It's good to have it with tea and friends (who like being a sweet-tooth).
Thank you for your time See ya.
