You Need

Maida 300 gms
Green cardamom powder ½ tsp.
Curd (yogurt) optional
Sugar 500 gms.
Color (optional) a few drops- i dont like it..so managed without it..
Soda bi-carb 1 tsp.
Ghee for deep frying

1. Mix flour, cooking soda and Curd/Yogurt. Add some water and make a smooth
batter.
2. Leave it overnight to ferment.
3. Mix it, add a little water if required and make it into a pouring consistency.
4. Prepare sugar syrup with equal quantity of sugar and water. Add green
cardamom powder and cook it for 20-25 minutes.
5. Heat Ghee in a Kadhai. Pour batter into a jalebi cloth and then pour it into
medium hot Ghee giving jalebi shapes.
6. Cook it from both sides. Remove and keep it in sugar syrup for at least 5
minutes before serving.
Tip: For jalebi cloth, take some stiff cloth and make a 3 mm hole in the center.I managed with a thick plastic :) its a bit messy with the batter dripping from the hole n u never notice....just like babies wetting ur dress n smiling in the lap ..he he he..
