Ingredients
- 1 cup Rice flour
- 0.5 cup Tapioca flour
- 0.5 cup Yogurt
- 0.75 cup Water
- 1 cup Sugar
- 10 strands Saffron strands
- 0.25 teaspoon Cardamom powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 cups Ghee or oil (for frying)
- 0.25 teaspoon Turmeric
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, combine rice flour, tapioca flour, yogurt, water, and turmeric. Mix well to form a smooth, thick batter. Cover and let it ferment for 12-24 hours in a warm place.
Step 2
Once the batter is fermented, add baking powder and mix gently to incorporate evenly.
Step 3
In a saucepan, dissolve the sugar in half a cup of water over medium heat to make a sugar syrup. Once it starts boiling, add saffron strands and cardamom powder.
Step 4
Let the syrup boil until it reaches one-string consistency. Turn off the heat and add lemon juice to prevent crystallization. Keep the syrup warm.
Step 5
Heat ghee or oil in a flat-bottomed pan on medium heat for frying.
Step 6
Transfer the batter into a squeeze bottle or a piping bag with a small nozzle.
Step 7
Squeeze the batter into the hot oil in a spiral motion to form jalebis. Fry the jalebis until they turn golden and crispy on both sides.
Step 8
Remove jalebis from oil, draining excess oil on paper towels briefly, then immediately submerge them into the warm sugar syrup.
Step 9
Let the jalebis soak in the syrup for 1-2 minutes to absorb the sweetness, then remove and serve warm.
