Jalebi/Jilebi is an Indian sweet made with plain flour, soaked in sugary syrup! Sometimes too much sweet but it's so delicious...i love it once in a while!

I had posted my jilebi pic in another subreddit, below is the link for it...

Homemade Jilebis

Here is a recipe to make it quickly at home:

Preparation:

4 tbsp plain flour

1/2 tbsp rice powder or corn powder for crispiness

1 tbsp plain yogurt

a pinch of turmeric powder or you can add food color (red or yellow for the color) - I used turmeric powder.

***** Mix all above ingredients and add some water and make a batter. Batter consistency should be little bit watery consistency(smoothie consistency). Keep aside for 10 minutes. 

****** Now, let's make the sugar syrup....heat a pan and take 1 cup of sugar with 1/2 cup of water. Stir it thoroughly...let it boil on medium flame...once boiled, change it to low flame....until the sugar gets dissolved(around 5 minutes). Add few drops of lemon juice, also you can add cardmom powder(1/2 tsp max) to the syrup for flavour and food color or turmeric powder for color. Keep the sugar syrup aside and let's make jalebi/jilebi now.

***** Heat a pan for deep frying.....heat oil. Meanwhile,  add a pinch of baking soda to our jilebi batter. Use a piping tube (normally used for icing, just a small cut at the tip instead of using any icing tips ) or sauce(ketchup) bottles to make jilebi from the batter. I used zip lock and poured the batter, and made a small tip at the end.

***** Check if the oil is hot and start making jilebis....pour in round and round batter into hot oil in the jilebi shapes.  

***** Once each jilebi is ready, that instant move them to the sugar syrup and let it be in the syrup for 3 to 4 minutes. And then you can move it to a plate to be served! Top it off with any nuts if needed.

There are lots of videos in YouTube to specifically see how the jilebi batter is poured into hot oil. One of the videos I like is from hebbar's kitchen, which can be easily searched in YouTube.
