There are many recipes on Jalebi...The trick to getting right Jalebis is getting correct fermentation of the batter. Keep trying variation in temperature and slight adjustment of the ingredients to master this skill that all your family and friends would love. I fermented the batter for 24 hrs, it gives tartness to the jalebi.
2 cups All purpose flour
Step 1 shows batter on 1st day
Step 2 shows batter after 24 hrs fermentation
Step 3 shows the sugar syrup
Step 4 shows the jalebi done in the hot oil
Prepare one string syrup by dissolving sugar in the water and rose water mixture.
Just before the syrup is ready add saffron and cardamom powder.
Heat oil in a wok.
To test for the right temperature, drop a small amount of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and rises to the top of the oil, the oil is hot enough. Keep the flame on medium at all times to ensure all round cooking of the jalebis.
Pour the batter in a steady stream to form coils. Make a few at a time.
Deep fry them until they are golden and crisp all over but not brown.
Remove from the wok and drain on paper towel and immerse in the syrup.
Leave for at least 2-3 minutes till they completely soak in the syrup.
Take the jalebi out of syrup.
Served hot on the streets of india, it goes really well with ice cream or the other indian dessert - rabdi.
Here's my first attempt pic.
My 2nd attempt pic
My 3rd attempt pic
Showed all the 3 pics to say that practice definetely makes us perfect.
This is the most Cruncy, juicy and mouth watering dish i've ever tasted.
So this is all about Jalebiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.
So i guess this is all for now. Will come again soon with yet another Temptation. Till then take care and have a happy weekend.
This Jalebi is on its way to 'Mithai Mela' hosted by Srivalli.

hey Aruna...Jalebi's were awesome! Enjoyed tasting them...and loved the melting sweet crunching taste they had. Yeh Dil Maange more!
pics are so lively that i almost tempted to pick one of jalebis! regarding origin, i think it may hav originated outside india as the very name doesn't resemble to any indian sounding name.
hey Priya, glad you liked it dear...........i was so scared how it is going to be!!!!!
Hi Sanjay, thanks for your quick comment, but yeah i read somewhere that it originated in punjab or rajasthan, not sure though!!!!! But glad u read it!!
what a great dessert - and it doesnt look hard to make - nice job!
doggybloggy: Hi thanq so much for ur comment. Yeah its not so hard to make it. I'm yet to reply for ur other comment too. Tx for visiting me!
I am drooling over those photos Aruna...I love jalebis though I've never tried them at home. May be I could give them a try now. THanks for the step by step instructions :)
Hi Gita, thanks for your comments, i love this sweet too a lot! Making this someday was my dream....lol!
Sounds great! I would love to try it!
Looks lovely Aruna..Nice color...Looks like store bought ones dear..I use ziplock bags to make this one..
It has been a while since we have eaten this. Now looking at the pictures I am drooling all over. It has turned out so perfect.
yeah Natasha, u should......trick is in fermenting the batter, rest all is simple!!
Hi Pooja, even i used ziplock the first time, but it looked like some map, not a jalebi as shown!!!!
thanks Ashwini............give it a try, worth it!!
Yeah, I am early on the list! First I must say advertisement has done its job (commercials). My mom said the first things I began to sing as a baby were tunes from the television :), and that jaleb looks delish...first thing I will note to buy, if we get our Visa's in order and I step off the plane :)
You are so patient, as I would have stopped at the first one and just eaten it :)
Looks delicious and crunchy. Makes me drool on looking at your shots! I love your step by step instructions with shots. Gave me confidence to try it out. As you said I can see that Practice has made it perfect :)
Lovely Jalebi Aruna....looks perfect....i don't even remember when was the last time i had it...i am drooling now.

Hi Deepa, thanq dear. That kid in the ad is now enjoying his mid-teenage life!!
Hi Pooja, yeah i deliberately wanted to show my failure shots too!!!!!
I am drooling all over my lappy! Looks perfect, great idea to use icing bag. I use plastic Mustard bottles with bigger holes and sqeeze the Jalebis!:D
Hi Asha, thanq so much dear....yeah even i worked out on different options but found the cone to be perfect one!!!
oh my god,they look absolutely store-bought.I have prepared this almost 1 year ago but ended up in different shapes(but the taste was quite good), u r inspiring me to prepare this again...lol but ur third attempt is so successful..
yeah Prathibha.........do not quit till u get the right shape....lol!!!My husband was very unhappy when he ate my first jalebi...!

क्या मिठाई है ये भी. अरुणा जी आपने इतनी जीवंत तस्वीरें( जलेबी कीं) डालीं है न, कि बस लगता है, कि उन्हें उठाने भर की देर है.... मेरे गुलाब जामुन भी लायेंगीं न आप?
Mera pyaaaaaar.....Jalebbiii yaaar..
Yep love jalebbbis.. but as far as I am concerned.....nothing..and I mean NOTHING can beat kaala jamuns. OOOhh boy..I cud kill for some kaala jamuns. They r amazing.
Be sure to serve me these jalebis jara doooor se though. I wud slurp U too.
Hey....Anshu's asking for u to tell her wot happened with u?? ANd I wanna know as well...Your story...tell tell.

Oye u make all this at home? and I was making a list of things I would gobble up to my stomach's content when I go to India?? 3rd time and u got such perfect beauties?? Well I still can't make a perfect round roti even after the 1000 th attempt, we even joke that we eat different countries and continents everyday so I guess if I try jalebi it might end up as noodles.
Pics are awesome

dhanyawaad Shyam ji...waah kya kahaavat hai! Aate rahiyegaa!
Hi,
New to all this,the recipe for Jalebi's is just to tempting.Would definately try this one.
Sure Avisha, that's the way to go!!!!!
WELL ARUNA TIME OUT !
NOW 'RAMATAA JILEBEE'
BACK IN MUMBAI IN 1980 ,IN WORLEE'S SHIVSAAGAR COMPLEX ( TATA'S SHOWROOM LANDMARK ) USE TO BE A VERY FAMOUS RESTAURANT 'THE VILLAGE' . EXPENSIVE BUT A REAL GUJRATEE VILLAGE SETTING AND OF COURSE GREAT FOOD. WE OFTEN USE TO VISIT WITH FRIENDS .WE ALL USE TO ENJOY JILEBEE GARMA GARAM...TAZEE .
ONCE A DRUNK FRIEND ACCIDENTELY SPILLED A FULL NEAT 'LARGE' RUM OVER JILEBEE PLATE .WE ALL WERE SPEECHLESS . SEEMED LIKE A GREAT LOSS AND EVERY ONE AROUND WERE AMUSED EXCEPT US .
WE STILL TRIED BUT TASTE.....BEST OF JILEBEE WAS LOST AND WORST OF RUM .....OBIVIOUS !
WE DID NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO . SAME FRIEND THOUGH WAS GUILTY BUT CAME WITH AN IDEA . HE SAID IF RUM KUD B VAPOURIZED WE CAN STILL ENJOY JILEBEE . A FLASH OF LIGHTER AND ENTIRE PLATE STARTED BURNING WITH SLOW LIGHT BLUE FLAME AROUND PLATE FOR FEW SECONDS . WE TRIED AGAIN .........AND WOW ! MORE CRISPY JILEBEE A LITTLE BROWNED CARAMELED LOOK AND TASTE ? UNIMAGINABLE .WE WERE THRILLED ORDERED ANOTHER JILEBEE AND RUM AND REPEATED .......
NEEDLESS TO SAY OTHER GUESTS AND STAFF WERE MORE AMUSED . A TIPSY TURVY DISCUSSON NAMED IT 'RAMATAA JALEBEE'......... KARAN RAMATAA RAMATAA BADHU THAI GAYA ANE RUM NEE DRESSING PAN SHAMIL HATEE .
TRY SOME TIME . ( AND ALL ALCOHAL GONE IT'S NOT AN ALCOHOLIC DISH )
’ रमता जलेबी ’ तो दिख रही है !
WELL AGAIN JILEBEE !
WHEN I WAS A KID ,GROWING UP IN A VILLAGE OF NORTH INDIA WE USE TO WAIT FOR ANNUAL DASHEHARA MELA . THERE USE TO BE TWO JILEBEES. REGULAR POPULAR ONE AND ONE CALLED ' CHOTAHIYA JILEBEE '. LATER ONE WAS CHEAPER AND I USE TO LOVE IT .
NAME WAS DERIVED FROM ' CHOTAA ' WHICH WAS USED AS SYRUP IN THIS ONE . 'CHOTAA' WAS BASICALLY A DERIVATIVE, DERIVED AS A BY PRODUCT IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING KHANDSAREE 'SHAKKAR', IN VILLAGES. CHOTAA WAS A RICH MOLLASSES TYPE LEFT OVER OF THE PRODUCT, USUALLY FED TO BULLS ,OF COURSE AFTER LITTLE FERMENTATION AND THEY IN TURN , USE TO PULL GADEES ETC. LIKE NEVER .
NOW AFTER KNOWING THE LESS CALORIES FACTOR AND A BIT HEALTHY EATING HABIT, I CRAVE FOR 'CHOTAHIYA JALEBEE' BUT IT HAS DISAPPEARED ! SO, OF COURSE KHANDSAREE AND CANE SUGAR IS RULING . NOW EVEN CANE GOES DIRECTLY TO ' CHEENEE' MILL.
JUST MEMORIES LEFT !
padhke mazaa aagaya Raj ji!

hi,Im Sara.. your Jalebis look awesome...im gonna ATTEMPT to make them as good as urs :) ...I have 2 questions for you:
1. do have a question...is 1/2 cup of warm water is enough to make a runny batter? cuz mine came out like a dough...
2. I know the tip is not required to use with the pastry bag...but just curious which number tip did u use for ur jalebis???
Please reply asap!
Hi Sara, tx for visiting me.
Yeah 1/2 cup of water shd be fine coz we r adding yogurt too.
I took v less flour, so my batter was very thin! Howver You can keep adding water till u get the desired consistency.
I guess i used tip 96, but my suggestion is use a plastic bag or a cloth.
Hai u r jelbai is looking like professionals its my dream to make a jelabi at home but i never suceeded always something goes wrong plz tell me what is the reason for the jelabi that looks like ur jelbai in the pic1,2 and 3
