Jalebi, a popular Indian sweet, is cherished for its crispy texture and sweet, syrupy flavor. This traditional treat is made by deep-frying maida (refined flour) batter in pretzel-like shapes, which are then soaked in sugary syrup. Often enjoyed during festivals and celebrations, jalebi has a special place in Indian cuisine and hearts.

Batter
Ingredients
4
100 grams Sour curd
80 ml Water
half kg Refined flour
320 ml Water
8 tbsp water
Directions
In a deep stock pot, mix sour curd with 80 ml of water using a whisk to create buttermilk.
Gradually add refined flour to the buttermilk, ensuring no lumps remain.
Incrementally mix in 325-350 ml of water until the batter reaches a semi-smooth consistency. Adjust water based on the moisture of the curd.
Cover and allow the batter to ferment in a warm place. The fermentation time varies with climate: 12-15 hours in winter and 8-9 hours in summer.
Once fermented, stir the batter and adjust consistency by adding approximately 8 tablespoons of water.
Notes
Jalebi is energizing due to its high sugar content, which provides a quick burst of energy.
However, it's high in calories and sugars, making it unsuitable for diabetics and those with heart conditions.
