Jalebi is probably one of the sweet which I stayed away for such a long time thinking that it is a complicated one to make…So when srivalli announced this dish for Indian Cooking Challenge,I was a little bit nervous…But I thought to give this a try..

And It cameout quite good..I am giving you step by step recipe for this…So you too can prepare it at home..
This recipe is really simple to make and it taste great..Traditionally they serve it piping hot with some milk poured on top..It taste divine..
If you have never heard about jalebi, it is a deep fried Indian sweet which is then drenged in sweet sugar syrup..It taste more or like honeycomb..Yes HONEYCOMB…
So here you go…
Ingrediants:
All purpose flour / Maida – 100 gm
Curds / Yoghurt – 1 cup
Lime juice – 1 tsp
Cornstarch / Cornflour- 30 gm
Hot oil – 1 tbsp
saffron color/food colouring-1 tsp
Sugar – 1 cup
Water – ½ cup
Oil for deep frying
Method:
Mix flour,cornflour,limejuice,curd,food colouring till it forms a thick batter.
Heat oil and pour hot oil over this and mix well..Let this ferment overnight.
Heat sugar and water in a sauce pan for 5 mins till it gets transparent and syrupy consistency.
Heat oil for deep frying..
Now take the jalebi batter and spoon it in the piping bag and pipe it in hot oil..
Fry it till crisp and light golden..Put this in hot sugar syrup and let it sit for 30 sec.
Take it out and serve hot with some milk..
Pictorial:
Take all your ingrediants
Mix everything up
make this to a smooth paste
Heat oil till hot
Pour that over the batter and mix well…Let this ferment over night…
Now make the sugar syrup by taking sugar in a saucepan
add water to it
Heat it up
Bring that to a boil
Let it get syrupy and clear…It will take 5-7 mins
Spoon the fermented batter to a piping bag
pipe it in hot oil
Cook it for a min or two….Don’t let it go so dark like this…I fried it too long
Drain it
Immerse in sugar syrup and let it sit for 30 sec…
Serve…
I know that it looks Deliicous………..

    i tried this recipe, the taste was great but the jelabi's weren't crisp 🙁 is there any special care to be take while preparing this recipe other than the oil temperature? and i substituted cornflour for rice flour, was that the wrong step?

    @AnonymousYou have to use the measurements.If you increase or reudce anything it will affect the crispness.
