  • 1⁄2 cup corn flour
  • pinch baking soda
  • 2 cups sunflower oil
  • 3 cups water
  • 4 drops rose essence
  • 1⁄2 tsp edible food color

Instructions

To Prepare:

  2. Squeeze out batter in a cicular motion to make spirals. Move from inside to outside. Fry jabelis on both sides until crispy and golden.

Soak the Jalebis in sugar syrup and serve

  1. Soak jabelis in warm sugar syrup for 3 to 4 minutes. Do not soak for too long or jabelis will go limp and soggy.
  2. Transfer jabelis to a tray lined with foil. Top off with creamy rabri and serve warm.

Recipe Notes

To make the jalebi even more delicious, add a little bit of ghee to the batter, this will give your jalebi that perfect aroma. To the crispy Jalebi, don't forget to ferment the batter overnight.
