Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Prepare sugar syrup

  • Combine sugar and water in a pot, boil on medium heat until 1-string consistency is reached (test by taking syrup between thumb and forefinger, pulling apart to form a single thread).
  • Remove from heat and stir in saffron, cardamom powder, lemon juice, and pumpkin spice mix. Keep the sugar syrup warm while you make the jalebis.

Description - Step 2

Step 2: Make batter

  • In a bowl, mix maida, corn starch, turmeric powder, and pumpkin spice mix.
  • Add curd and water; whisk into a thick, smooth batter.
  • For making the instant batter, whisk for 4 minutes in one direction.
  • For fermented batter: replace corn starch with besan, add water to make a pouring consistency, and ferment 12-24 hours until bubbly and slightly sour.

Description - Step 3

Step 3: Fry jalebi

  • Heat ghee or oil on medium heat (add 1-2 tbsp ghee if using oil for more flavour).
  • Add lemon juice and baking soda to the batter (skip the lemon juice if fermented batter).
  • Fill the batter into a sauce bottle or piping bag.
  • Check oil temperature by dropping a small drop of batter – it should rise immediately without browning.
  • Pipe batter into hot oil in spiral shapes. Fry on medium-high heat until golden and crisp, turning once. Reduce the heat in the last minute for extra crispiness.
  • Remove with a skewer and immediately dip in warm sugar syrup for 1-2 minutes.
  • Transfer to plate. Repeat for the remaining batter.
