5) Orange Food color 1 tsp or as required

6) Ghee melted 1 tbs

7) Baisan (Gram flour) 1 tbs

Instructions 

For Sheera (Sugar syrup):

In pot,add water,sugar and green cardamom,mix it and cook until syrup thickens.

In the end, add lemon juice, stir well and set aside.

For Jalebi:

In lukewarm water, add sugar and instant yeast, mix & let it sit for 15 minutes.

In bowl add flour, orange food color, ghee melted, gram flour, yeast mixture, water and make a batter of desired consistency. Let it rest for 10 minutes and consume immediately (within 10-15 minutes).

-Now pour this batter in the sneezing bottle.

-In frying pan, heat desi ghee and squeeze the bottle and make centric rings with the batter.

-When one side is cooked, turn over and fry the other side.

After frying, immediately put the fried jalebis in the sugar syrup. The sugar syrup should be slightly warm when you add jalebis in it. If its too hot then due to heat the crisp crust of the jalebi will soften and if it is too cold, it won't be absorbed properly.

Turn over after a minute so that both sides are coated with the syrup.

Keep them in the sugar syrup for about 2-3 minutes.

Remove jablebis with the help of tong and shake lightly so that excess sugar syrup is drained out.

Jalebi is ready to serve.

Note: Make sure oil is hot enough (medium high temperature) Otherwise jalebi won't puff.
