Ingredients Serving: 4

  1. Milk- 1 lit
  2. Vinegar- 4 to 5 tbsp
  3. Sugar - 1 1/2 cup
  4. water- 1 1/2 cup
  5. Cardamom - 3 to 4
  6. Saffron - a pinch
  7. Maida- 3 to 4tbsp
  8. Suji- 1 tbsp
  9. Orange color - a drop(optional)
  10. Baking powder - 1/4tsp
  11. Milk- 2tsp (optional)
  12. Ghee for frying

Instructions

  1. In a heavy button pan boil milk and add vinegar to it and let it spilt. In this way you will get paneer or chhena. Drain the paneer on a colander or strain and keep aside for an hour.
  2. After an hour bring out paneer on a wide plate and start kneading up to a min. If it is too dry to knead then add 1 tsp of milk to it. The add suji or rava and baking powder to it and knead again
  3. Then add maida to it and one spoon at a time. Maida will soak the moisture and help in formings. I have added 3 tbsp of maida and made soft dough which can rolled to form jalebis
  4. In the mean time in another kadai add sugar and water to it and let it melt. Cook the sugar syrup up to one thread consistency. Make cardamom powder and add to it. The add saffron and color to it and let it infuse in the sugar syrup
  5. Take a lemon size ball from the dough. Put on the kitchen platform and try to make rope out of it. Then make coil like jalebi with the rope to form jalebis. While preparing jalebis if u see crack then repair it with wet hand. Like this make jalebis out of the dough and keep aside.
  6. Heat ghee in a kadai and fry the jalebis on low and medium flame. When done one side and flip to the other side. Similarly fry all the jalebis and drop in the sugar syrup. Temperature of ghee is very important, and it should not be very hot. Drop all the jalebis in the hit sugar syrup.
  7. After putting all the jalebis in the sugar syrup give a boil to the syrup. It will help to soak the jalebis better. Let it stand in the syrup for 2 hours before serving
  8. This can be served warm, cold or in room temperature. The motive is to eat which ever temperature doesnt matter.
