Jalebi with @gitsfood

Ingredients

• 1 packet Gits Jalebi Mix (approx 500 g, no preservatives, artificial colors or flavors)
• 1 cup Water (lukewarm, for batter)
• 2 cup Ghee (clarified butter, for deep frying)
• 2 cup Granulated Sugar (for sugar syrup)
• 1 cup Water (for sugar syrup)
• 1 tsp Lemon Juice (prevents crystallisation of syrup)
• 1/4 tsp Cardamom Powder (optional, for aroma)

Instructions

1. Make Jalebi Batter

   In the mixing bowl, add the Gits Jalebi Mix and pour in lukewarm water. Whisk gently until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

   Time: PT5M

2. Heat Ghee

   Pour the ghee into the deep frying pan and heat over medium flame. When the temperature reaches about 175°C (350°F), the ghee is ready.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: 175°C

3. Prepare Sugar Syrup

   In a saucepan combine sugar, water and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then simmer on medium heat until the syrup reaches one‑string consistency (about 110‑115°C). Add cardamom powder if using.

   Time: PT7M

   Temperature: Medium heat

4. Fry Jalebi

   Fill the batter dispenser bottle with the prepared batter. Hold it over the hot ghee and squeeze in circular spirals, starting from the centre and moving outward. Fry until the jalebis turn golden‑brown and become crisp.

   Time: PT8M

   Temperature: 175°C

5. Soak in Syrup

   Using the slotted spoon, lift the fried jalebis and immediately dip them into the hot sugar syrup for 10‑15 seconds. Remove and place on paper‑towel‑lined plate to drain excess syrup.

   Time: PT5M

6. Serve

   Serve the jalebis warm. Optionally garnish with chopped pistachios or almonds for extra crunch.
