Steps:
- First, make the syrup. Put the sugar and 100ml water in a pan set over a medium heat. When the sugar has dissolved, add the saffron and bring to the boil. Continue to boil for 5-6 mins until thickened and syrupy - the consistency should be like honey. Remove from the heat and add the cardamom and lemon juice - the lemon juice prevents the sugar crystallising. Set aside.
- For the batter, put all the ingredients except the baking powder and bicarb, in a large bowl. Slowly add 150ml water and whisk for a few minutes until smooth, then add the baking powder and bicarb and stir well - it should be as thick as pancake batter. Pour into a squeeze bottle with a narrow tip, or spoon into a piping bag and snip off the tip so you have a small opening. Pour the oil into a large heavy-bottomed saucepan until it's no more than two-thirds full and heat to 170-180C, or until a drop of the batter sizzles when added.
- Carefully squeeze or pipe swirls of the batter directly into the hot oil - do this in batches (you should be able to fry four or five at once). Fry for 1-2 mins on each side until golden. Remove the jalebi with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain, then, while still warm, dip in the syrup using tongs or a fork, turning to coat. Sprinkle over the flaked almonds or chopped pistachios. Serve straightaway or leave to cool.

Steps:
- Mix the flour, baking powder and yogurt into a batter and keep aside for 24 hours to ferment. Pour batter into a ketchup dispensing bottle. To make sugar syrup: Melt the sugar with the rose water and boil to get a one thread consistency. Turn off fire, add the saffron strands and cardamom and stir well. Heat the oil in a deep wok-like dish. To test for the right temperature, drop a small amount of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and rises to the top of the oil, the oil is hot enough. Keep the flame on medium at all times to ensure all round cooking of the jalebis. Now hold the ketchup dispenser over the hot oil and squeeze the batter into the oil into a wiggly, randomly coiled circle. Squeeze out several at a time. Fry till light golden and then remove and put directly into the sugar syrup. Allow to soak for 2-3 minutes and then remove. Serve warm.

Steps:
- To make the batter
- Dissolve the yeast in 1 tablespoon of the water and let sit for just 10 minutes, and no longer. In a large bowl, combine the maida flour and Bengal gram flour. Add the yeast, melted ghee, sugar, lemon juice, yellow food coloring, and remaining 2/3 cup water and mix until there are no more lumps.
- To fry the jalebis
- Melt enough ghee in a heavy-bottomed pot to fill it 1 inch deep. Line plates with paper towels for draining the fried cakes. Pour the lime-saffron syrup into a saucepan over low heat, to keep it warm. Fit a pastry bag with a small writing tip, and pour the batter into the bag.
- Squeeze 2-inch round whorls of batter into the hot ghee, working closely from the center out. Fry until golden brown on the bottom, then flip to fry on the other side until it's golden brown. Remove the jalebis from the oil and set on paper towels to drain. Transfer the hot cakes to the lime-saffron syrup and let soak for a minute or two.
- To serve
- Serve the jalebis warm in small bowls with syrup. Or you can remove the jalebis from the syrup and set on a rack to dry for 3 to 4 hours, until the syrup has formed a hard shell.
- Variation

JALEBI
Jalebis are much-loved sweets in India: You can get a bowl of freshly fried jalebis on the street any day, but they're also specially prepared for occasions such as weddings, Holi, Diwali and Eid. The best ones are made by halwais (confectionery chefs), and I was given tips on making the perfect jalebi from a halwai who caters for our family events. Though they originated in Persia as a sweet called zulbia, they were brought to India by Persian traders and have now been completely appropriated by us! The perfect jalebi is made with a fermented batter and is crispy outside, a little chewy inside and ever so slightly sour from the fermentation. It's then dipped in a saffron and cardamom flavored syrup and eaten while still hot. When the fermented batter is fried, chemistry happens and a hollow center forms in the jalebi that gets filled with the saffron flavored syrup. It's quite a little miracle!

Steps:
- Combine the all-purpose flour and rice flour in a medium mixing bowl and mix well. Add 3/4 cup lukewarm water and mix well until you have a smooth and thick batter. If the batter is too dry and not smooth, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until you have a smooth batter. The batter should be slightly thicker than pancake batter. Cover and let it ferment at room temperature until bubbly, 24 to 36 hours.
- Once the batter has fermented, add the food coloring gel or turmeric powder. The food coloring gives the jalebi a nice orange color and the turmeric results in a more yellow jalebi.
- The fermented batter should be the consistency of pancake batter. If it's too thick, add water 1 tablespoon at a time until you have the right consistency. If too thin, you can add a little flour. To make good jalebis, the consistency of the batter is very important. If it is too thin, you won't get a nice round shape and it will be more like tape. And if it is too thick, the jalebis will be fat and soft. Transfer the batter to a squeeze bottle or piping bag with a 4- to 5-millimeter opening.
- Combine the sugar, cardamom, saffron and 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until the syrup is thickened slightly and sticky, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the lemon juice. Keep warm.
- Add about 1 inch of oil, ghee or a combination to a wide Dutch oven or deep saute pan. Attach a deep-frying thermometer and heat over medium-high heat to 340 degrees F. It is important that the oil be medium hot. If it's too hot, the jalebis will brown, and if it's not hot enough, they will turn out flat.
- Squeeze out the batter into the hot oil in concentric circles or spirals from the inside out, 3 to 4 inches wide, ending with one quick stroke back toward the middle of each jalebi so it doesn't unfurl (see Cook's Note). Keep piping jalebis until the pan is about half full. Cook the jalebis, flipping them over, until crispy, about 45 seconds on each side. Use a slotted spoon or tongs to remove to a paper towel lined plate or tray. Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Dunk the jalebis into the warm syrup. Depending how sweet you like your jalebis, you can either let them soak in the syrup for about 10 seconds or just do a quick dip. The jalebis are best eaten immediately. If not eating the jalebis right away, don't dip them in the syrup until ready to eat. Instead, heat up the syrup and dip the jalebis just before eating.

Steps:
- Make the spiced sugar syrup: In a medium saucepan, stir together the sugar and water over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a low simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking for 8-10 minutes, until the syrup starts to thicken slightly. (To test if the syrup has the right consistency, dip a spoon into the syrup and, after letting it cool slightly, place a droplet of the syrup between your thumb and forefinger. Pull your fingers apart very slightly; if the syrup is ready, there should be a single strand that stretches between the fingers. If not, continue cooking, checking every minute or 2, until the syrup is ready.)
- Once the syrup reaches the right consistency, stir in the saffron threads, McCormick® cardamom, and lemon juice, then remove the pot from heat and cover to keep warm until ready to use. The syrup should be very warm when using; if it cools down and over-thickens, sprinkle in a small amount of water and heat over low heat until warmed again.
- Make the batter: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, corn flour, baking soda, and McCormick® turmeric. Add the yogurt, water, and lemon juice, and whisk in one direction for 4 minutes, until very smooth with a texture close to pancake batter - thick but pourable. Add more water or flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, as needed to reach the desired consistency.
- Heat the vegetable oil and ghee together in a medium heavy-bottom pot over medium-high heat until the temperature reaches 350-360°F(180°C). The oil level should be 2½-3 inches deep; add more vegetable oil if needed.
- Set a wire rack over paper towels.
- When ready to fry, test the oil temperature by transferring 2 tablespoons of batter to a squeeze bottle and squeezing into the hot oil in a spiral pattern. The batter should start bubbling and rise to the surface immediately, without browning. If the jalebi appears thin and stringy, the batter is too thin. If it browns immediately, the oil is too hot. The batter should puff slightly and brown over the course of 1-2 minutes. Adjust the oil temperature and batter as needed, then transfer the rest of the batter to the squeeze bottle.
- Make the jalebi: Working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, squeeze 3 to 4 tablespoons of the batter at a time into the hot oil in spiral shapes, starting from the center and going outward to 3-4 inches in diameter. Cook for 45-60 seconds per side, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside and cooked through and soft on the inside. Gently remove the jalebi from the hot oil with a slotted spoon, letting the excess oil drip off, then immediately dunk in the warm sugar syrup. Let soak for 1 minute on each side, then transfer to the wire rack and let rest for 2 minutes, or until ready to serve.
- Serve the jalebi warm.
- Enjoy!

JALEBI
We had Punjabi neighbours who used to bring home lots of sweets from weddings they attended. These sweets are usually made in Indian sweet shops and there are a number of good ones around Vancouver. But I just couldn't resist trying to make these, and begged a recipe. Most people will find these extremely sweet. You're not supposed to eat more than one or maybe two, and usually you would have them with coffee or tea. They are at their best freshly made but don't burn your mouth when they are HOT.
