This popular dessert is made using all-purpose flour and sugar syrup and does not need any special ingredients. It is an easy-to-make dessert recipe that can be made in just an hour. This crispy sugary spiral tastes brilliant when served with piping hot milk or chilled Rabri. Traditionally, a muslin cloth, with a small outlet is used to make the Jalebi, by pouring it in a spiral shape in the piping hot oil. However, to make the process easier, you can use a squeezy bottle, which makes it much simpler. The golden rule to make amazing Jalebis is, by well fermenting the batter. For a twist, this simple recipe can also be served as a breakfast with milk or curd. This easy and quick dessert recipe is paired with various dishes in different regions. What makes this dessert delicious is the crispiness filled with sugary taste, no wonder this delicacy tastes best when paired with a spicy side dish or after an elaborate meal. To make this Jalebi even better add some soaked saffron water to the batter this gives a beautiful yellow tint to this recipe and the aroma of saffron makes it more delightful. It is always advisable to prepare Jalebi by shallow frying, and if you are someone who loves the aroma and taste of ghee, then you can use ghee instead of using refined oil. If you like it traditionally, you can serve it with Rabri or Milk, but if you have guests coming over and you just don’t have the time to prepare Rabri you can top it with some condensed milk or Vanilla ice cream. However, we suggest you enjoy it with Rabri in the much authentic way and garnish it with some crushed pistachios and kesar strings (saffron strings). So make this delicious delicacy and enjoy with your loved ones.
