Ingredients:
· 2 cups Maida [refined flour]
· ½ tsp. baking powder
· Ghee for frying
· 2 cups of sugar
· A big pinch saffron soaked in warm water or 4 drops of yellow color
· 1 tsp. cardamom, coarsely powdered.
Method:
Mix Maida with baking powder and water to make a batter of the consistency of thick cream. Put it aside in a warm place to ferment for 24 hours.
Dissolve 2 cups of sugar in 2 cups of water and boil till it becomes thick. Squeeze out 2 to 3 drops of the lime. Then lot of scum will collect on its surface. Remove it with a spoon So that the syrup becomes crystal clear. Add saffron soaked in warm water. See that the syrup is of one thread consistency. Add cardamom powder bring to one boil and remove from fire.
Now beat the previously prepared batter for few minutes and
now heat ghee in a heavy bottomed wide frying pan and lower the heat.
Fill some batter in the thick square cloth, in which a small hole is made in the center. Gather the 4 ends of the cloth to make it in to a bag-type bundle.
Holds it right over the ghee in the pan and by pressing the bundle lightly move it in a circular motion. Thus drop 4 or 5 jalebis in the ghee. It depends on the size of your frying pan you use. When fried well in one side in light golden color turn the other side and fry like the same. Lift them on a steel knitting needle and hold over the pan for a while so that all the extra ghee drips down. Put them directly in the sugar syrup to soak. After 3 or 4 minutes, take them out of the syrup and drain and keep in a plate and serve hot.
