To make instant jalebi, first we need to make the sugar syrup. Combine the sugar with 1/3rd cup of water together in a deep pan and cook on a medium flame till the sugar dissolves and is of 1 thread consistency. Add saffron-milk mixture and rose water and mix well. Keep the syrup aside. It should remain warm. Then combine sieved plain flour and baking powder with curds-water mixture and whisk well. Heat some ghee in a broad non-stick pan. Fill the jalebi batter into a piping bag with a single hole nozzle. Press out round whirls of the batter into the hot ghee working closely from outside to the centre of the whirl. Deep fry the jalebis till golden brown in colour from both the sides. Immediately add to warm sugar syrup and keep soaked for 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle cardamom powder and serve warm.
