STEP 2.Next add ¾ cup yogurt which will help the mixture to ferment and 2 tbsp ghee. Add water a little at a time and mix to combine all the ingredients well. Ensure no lumps are formed. Add water and mix till a thick pancake batter consistency or reached or until the mixture is a dropping and thick pouring consistency.

STEP 4.To prepare the sugar syrup add 1 cup of water and 1 cup of sugar in a saucepan. Add a few strands of saffron for flavour. Bring to a boil and stir until well dissolved. Then reduce the heat and simmer the syrup till it reaches a 1 string consistency. Keep the sugar syrup on low heat and begin to make the jalebi.

STEP 6.When the oil is hot, pipe the jalebi batter into the oil moving in concentric circles, to make jalebi shape.
STEP 7.Fry the jalebis on low to medium heat till crisp and lightly browned.
STEP 8.Once lightly browned, remove from the kadai, drain off the excess oil and drop them into the prepared sugar syrup.Allow them to soak for a few minutes. Flip them over to ensure that both sides are coated.
STEP 9.Serve hot with ice cream or rabri.
