Craving jalebi but short on time? Try this instant version of khoya jalebi using mawa (khoya). It skips the traditional process of making the batter from scratch.
mawa jalebi recipe, also known as khoya jalebi, is a decadent Indian dessert featuring a beautiful spiral shape. The key ingredient is mawa, a rich milk concentrate, that lends a melt-in-your-mouth texture and a nutty flavor.
For making instant mawa jalebi transform mawa into a luxurious batter by blending it with plain flour, milk, and a touch of baking soda. Whip up a fragrant sugar syrup infused with the essence of cardamom. The secret lies in achieving the ideal batter consistency – neither too thick and dry, nor thin and runny.
Utilize a piping bag to artfully create those iconic jalebi coils as you gently fry them in ghee. Finally, immerse the warm khoya jalebi in the flavorful syrup, creating a delightful treat that will tantalize your taste buds.
pro tips to make mawa jalebi recipe: 1. Use fresh mawa (khoya) for the richest flavor and texture. If using store-bought mawa, try to find a good quality one that's not too dry or crumbly. 2. For an extra layer of flavor, add a few strands of saffron or a few drops of rosewater to the sugar syrup while it's simmering. 3. Maintain medium heat for the oil. If it's too hot, the jalebis will burn on the outside before they cook through. If it's too cool, they'll be oily. 4. Don't over soak the jalebis in the syrup. You want them to be moist and flavorful, but not soggy.

Can I fry these jalebi in the morning and soak them in sugar syrup in night before serving

No, the jalebis will have to be added in the sugar syrup immediately for the syrup to coat well. You can drain from the syrup and keep and serve after some time.
