Cook The Book: Jalebi

• 6 tablespoons refined flour (
• )
• 2 tablespoons gram (chickpea) flour (
• )
• 2 tablespoons yogurt
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 1/4 cups sugar
• Vegetable oil for deep frying

1. Mix the refined flour, gram flour, yogurt, oil and water together and let it ferment overnight.
2. Make the syrup with the water and sugar until a one-string consistency is achieved. Keep aside.
3. Heat the oil in a flat pan. Beat the mixture thoroughly and pack it in a plastic bag. Cut a small hole in one corner and slowly press the bag over the hot oil. Try to make 6 centimeter whirls starting from the outer ring and ending at the center. Fry until both sides are crisp. To turn over, use a steel or bamboo skewer. Remove gently with tongs and drain.
4. Soak them in sugar syrup for about 4 minutes and then remove. Serve hot.
