Ingredients
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp corn flour
  • ¼ tsp saffron strands crushed
  • ¼ tsp turmeric
  • 2 tbsp sour yogurt
  • 1 tsp quick rise yeast
  • ½ cup warm water
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • Oil for deep frying.
For the Syrup
  • 1 cup grated jaggery
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 2-3 drops rose water
  • saffron strands and cardamom powder-1/4 tsp(together)
Instructions
  1. In ½ cup of warm water, add the yeast and sugar and let sit for 5 minutes.
  2. In a larger bowl, add the flour, corn flour, crushed saffron strands, turmeric and yogurt. Mix. Add the yeast mixture little by little to form a smooth paste. Cover and let ferment for 15-30 minutes.
  3. In the meantime, in a pan, add the jaggery and sugar with water. Mix well and bring it to a simmer. It is should be of one thread consistency(important). This process will take anywhere from 10-15 minutes. Add the cardamom and saffron. Once done, squeeze ½ lemon juice and take it off the heat and set aside.
  4. After the fermentation, the batter will be smooth. If it is too thick, add little water at a time, it should be pourable consistency, not too thin or too thick. Pour it in a ziploc or plastic squeeze bottle. You can re use, plastic sauce bottles too, works well.
  5. In a shallow pan add 2 to 3 inches of oil. Heat the oil making sure to keep it on medium, let it get hot.
  6. Pipe and Swirl the batter with the bottle in the oil. It cooks fast, let it crisp on both sides and take it out and immediately transfer it into the sugar syrup. Quickly coat both sides and take it out and serve hot.
ENJOY!!
Notes
The batter can be left in the refrigerator for upto a week. You can make it hot whenever you want.
You can skip the yeast and add ½ tsp baking soda to the mixture and make the jalebi, it is still good.
