instant jalebi recipe | quick jalebi | homemade instant jalebi | instant jalebi without eno are so quick to make that you would never have thought that jalebis can be made so easily! Learn how to make homemade instant jalebi.
Born in the North only to become famous all over India, the homemade instant jalebi has a somewhat chewy texture with a crystallized, semi-fermented, sugary exterior coating, which contributes to the unique flavour of this dish.
The USP of these quick jalebi is there is no need to ferment the batter. Moreover, they are not made with eno or fruit salt. It’s the curd used in this recipe that works its magic.
While making these homemade instant jalebi, remember to keep the syrup warm. Keep stirring the sugar syrup continuously till you reach 1 thread consistency. Do not over cook the sugar syrup. Also ensure that you immerse the jalebi in warm syrup immediately after frying so they soak the sugar syrup well. Do not over soak them. 2 to 3 minutes is enough.
For the sugar syrup- To make instant jalebi, combine the sugar along with 1 cup of water, cardamom powder and orange food colour.
- Simmer on medium flame for 5 minutes till the syrup is of 1 string consistency.
- Remove from the fire and keep aside.
For the jalebis- In a deep bowl add plain flour, ghee and eno, mix them using your fingertips.
- Gradually add water and make a smooth, lump free batter using your hands for mixing.
- Transfer the batter into a piping bag and cut a small tip or a thick cloth with a small hole in the center.
How to proceed- Heat oil or ghee in broad pan, and press out round swirls of the batter in the hot ghee working closely from center to the outside of the whirl [approximately 50 mm. (2 inch) diameter].
- Deep fry the jalebis till golden brown and transfer into the warm sugar syrup.
- Drain immediately and serve the instant jalebis hot garnished with almonds and pistachios.
