Directions: Chanar Jilapi Or Chhena (paneer) Jalebis Recipe

STEP 1.First up: We need to procure the Chhena out of the Milk by curdling it...Refer to my earlier existing similar recipes on this....
STEP 2.Once we’ve gotten that- We need to mix the aforesaid measured ingredients to it while kneading the very dough for the Jalebis & knead it as shown in the pics, for at least 8-10 mins time until it forms an absolutely smooth, supple & crack free dough
STEP 3.In the interim: Prepare the Sugar Syrup with the aforesaid measured ingredients & allow it to form nearly to one-string consistency- keep it warm & sitting on the low flame
STEP 4.Once the dough is prepared: Divide that into small lemon sized portions & give the shapes as shown in the pics, down below...quite a variety of shapes can be given to this & this is one ☝️ of that...
STEP 5.Heat up a frying pan over the medium flame: Add in the measured oil for deep frying- Once heated up- The flame to be kept on the low-medium, all along
STEP 6.Drop them, slowly & gently- One after the other...It’ll take a few seconds or a minute’s time to afloat & that’s how it should be... that’s the very indication of the correct temperature of the oil/ghee heated up
STEP 7.Fry them in batches until dark golden brown and then, transfer it to a plate & almost immediately, drop them into the warm sugar syrup...Put the flame on the high for about a minute and then, reduce it to the low-medium for another 2 mins time- flip-flap them, a couple of times
STEP 8.Turn off the flame and cover it with the lid and let it be immersed and soaked in the hot sugar syrup for about 1-2 hours time...& in between once or twice gently flip it over very gently since, they’re absolutely soft, fragile & breakable at this time
STEP 9.Once it cools down on its own- You’ll notice it’s soaked the sugar syrup sufficiently & have bloated up & became puffy now- That’s what we’re looking out for, exactly...Cut a piece, you’ll see the soft & juicy & the tender chhena jalebi, filled in with the right amount of the sugar syrup inside it & it completely melts in the mouth
STEP 10.Garnish with some finely chopped dry fruits- mainly pistachios & almonds with a few saffron strands or rose petals & RELISH THE DELISH 🤤😍
