preparing sugar syrup:
- firstly, take 1 cup sugar in a pan and add ¼ cup water.
- keep stirring on low flame, so that the sugar dissolves.
- boil the sugar syrup and add saffron.
- cook till you get one string consistency in the sugar syrup.
- once one string consistency is attained, switch off the flame and add ½ tsp lemon juice and cardamom powder. lemon helps to avoid crystallizing sugar syrup and keeps your jalebis crispy.

- now pour this batter in the tomato ketchup bottles carefully.
frying jalebis:
- firstly, heat oil in a pan and add 1 tbsp of ghee. ghee gives a better flavour. make sure your pan is not too shallow and should be approximately 1 inch deep for frying jalebis.
- now squeeze the bottle and make round spirals with the batter.
- furthermore, when one side is partly cooked, turn over and fry the other side.
- also fry till the jalebis are a light golden. remove with a tongs and shake to drain the extra oil.
- then immediately drop the fried jalebis in the warm sugar syrup.
- dip and turn over so that both sides are coated with the syrup.

notes:

- in addition, make sure your pan is not too shallow and should be approximately 1 inch deep for frying jalebis.
- furthermore, don’t worry if you won’t get perfect shapes in first attempt as the jalebis keep on moving while you make the circles. you need to be quick and this does require some practice.
- finally, if you like your jalebi recipe too sweety then keep in sugar syrup for about 2 to 3 minutes.

Hi,
I tried to make, but the batter didn’t turned up in good form,I have added cooking soda and other things required but once I started to fry it became rubbery and inside it was pinkish colour.
Please guide me what when wrong.
