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
- Mix the refined flour, gram flour, yogurt, oil and water together and let it ferment overnight.
- Make the syrup with the water and sugar until a one-string consistency is achieved. Keep aside.
- 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.
- Soak them in sugar syrup for about 4 minutes and then remove. Serve hot.
