For Jalebi Batter

✔ 1 cup all-purpose flour (maida)

✔ ½ tsp baking soda
✔ 1 tbsp ghee (clarified butter)
Warm half a cup of liquid before modifying its texture.
✔ 1 tsp sugar (for fermentation boost)
✔ A pinch of yellow/orange food color (optional for shop-style jalebi look)

For Sugar Syrup

✔ ½ cup water
Put half a spoon of lemon juice into water then blend them to create the syrup base.

✔ ½ tsp rose water or saffron strands (optional for extra fragrance)

Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Preparing the Jalebi Batter

Put flour sugar and cornstarch properly together in a container.
Stir in yogurt with melted ghee plus lukewarm water into the mixture while keeping it mixed. The blended mixture turns smooth by mixing it together. The batter needs to move like flowing pancake batter as it enters the cooking pot.
Spread the baking soda throughout the mixture before you secure the mixing bowl. The yeast needs warm conditions to work and must rest for 8 to 10 hours in the prepared batter.
With the whisk mix the ingredients while checking texture then slowly put drops of water if necessary. Add enough water to make the mix spreadable but less than regular liquid standards.
You need to prepare the sugar syrup with the right proportions.
Add sugar into water while mixing them in a saucepan with slow agitation. Keep the stove set to medium heat as you stir the blend until all ingredients become mixed well.
Dip your fingers into the syrup to test One-String Syrup quality when threads form between your digits.
Hot sugar syrup develops its fragrance by mixing ground cardamom and rose water with lemon juice and hot temperatures.
The saucepan needs to go off the heat to create perfect soaking conditions for jalebis.

Step 3: Frying the Jalebis

Proceed with jalebi production after heating deep cooking oil or ghee to 170-180 degree Celsius /338-356 degree Fahrenheit medium heat.
Place fermented batter into either standard squeezing tools or a plastic nozzle system starting with ketchup style bottles.
Use medium temperature heat when squeezing the batter through a tube nozzle to produce spiral shapes in hot oil. When heated oil bends compressed batter into traditional Jalebi form.
Cook jalebi pieces on both sides for 2 to 3 minutes till each side turns golden crisp.
Keep finished jalebi pieces on the absorbing paper until oil leaves them.
Allow Jalebi to soak in warm syrup for exactly 30 to 40 seconds before taking it out from the sauce.
Keep each cooked jalebi in syrup for exactly 30 to 40 seconds until it becomes sufficiently firm.
The dining plate holds the finished jalebi snacks as preparation ends. Using pistachio garnishes and saffron gives the jalebi better visual appeal.
Como Consumir – Serve the jalebis fresh and hot in combo with rabri (thick milk) chai or simple milk.

2. Why did my jalebis turn soft?
   The taste change results from the batter soaking more oil than both the hot syrup and hot oil temperatures will allow. After reaching medium heat for one minute jalebis can take in the syrup coating.
3. Can I store jalebi?
