Jalebi - traditional stype

My favourite recipe of all times. Must have tried several version of it. But, of all this is the best. It was with out a doubt super hit and was gone in no time. Make sure to make more of it. 

Ingredients:

Flour - 1 Cup 
Yogurt - 2/3 Cup
Cornflour - 1/3 Cup
Baking powder - 1 tsp
Oil - 1 tbsp
Saffron - 1 pinch 
Sugar - 1 cup
lemon juice - 1/2 tsp 

Procedure:
  1. Mix flour, yogurt, corn flour, baking powder and Saffron in a large bowl. Add enough water and get it to the consistency of Dosa batter or pancake batter.
  2. Let this batter ferment over night at room temperature 
  3. Dissolve sugar in water and let it boil till we get single thread consistency. Add lemon juice to avoid crystallization and mix well.
  4. Heat oil in a pan. Take the fermented Jelabi batter in to a piping bag. Once the oil is hot enough, gently pipe the Jelabi batter in to hot oil. 
  5. As the Jelabis get fried on both sides, remove from hot oil and drop them gently in to sugar syrup.
  6. After soaking for about one minute, remove and serve. 
Enjoy while they are hot!!
