Jalebi, Crispy Juicy Sweet

Jalebi is a warm crispy, delicious treat. It can best be described as funnel cake. In my home town jalebi was served for the breakfast treat like pancakes. It was a treat to have jalebi and kachori for a hearty breakfast. Jalebi was mostly eaten by themselves, but some time we soaked the jalebi in warm milk and that tasted delicious. I know jalebi is mostly served as dessert but for me jalebi still makes the best breakfast treat.

Jalebi Sweet

Ingredients

For Jalebi Batter

  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour maida, plain flour
  • 1 tsp besan gram flour
  • 1/2 tsp yeast
  • 1/2 tsp oil
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/3 cup lukewarm water (as needed)

For Syrup

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/8 tsp crushed cardamom
  • few strands saffron
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Also need oil to fry

Instructions

Making the Batter

  • Dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it sit for about five minutes.
  • Mix the flour, besan (gram flour), oil, and sugar together. Add the yeast solution to the flour and mix to make a smooth batter. Set the batter aside in a warm place for one hour.
  • Make sure the batter is fermented, but do not over-ferment. After fermenting the batter will be a little lacy.

Making the Syrup

  • Boil the sugar and water together. Add the lemon juice and saffron and turn off the heat. (The lemon juice keeps the mixture from crystallizing).

Making Jalebis

  • Heat the oil in a flat frying pan about one inch deep. To test, put one drop of batter in the oil. The batter should sizzle and rise into a ball without changing color right away.
  • Fill the Jalebi batter into a piping bag with a #3 nozzle. You can also use an empty ketchup or mustard bottle.
  • Squeeze the Jalebi batter out into the hot oil in pretzel shapes about two inches in diameter. Fry the Jalebis until light golden-brown on both sides.
  • Transfer them into the warm syrup. Let the jalebis soak in the hot syrup a few seconds, then take them out.
  • Serve hot. Enjoy! 

Notes

Variations
Try sprinkling cinnamon powder or drizzle melted chocolate over the Jalebis for a creative touch.
Serving Suggestion
In North India Jalebi is a breakfast treat accompanied with Urad Dal Puri and Methi Chutney.

    Dear Manjula Aunty
    I am from Sri Lanka and came across your website today.
    Love your way of teaching and it made me want to try your Jalebi recipe .
    I did two batches, one batch with treacle and one batch with your sugar syrup.
    Added lemon and cardamom to both.
    Came out really well.
    Thank you!
    Warm regards

    Made this a few months ago for Eid and took it to an aunt’s house. Left out the cardamon powder and saffron as I didn’t have it.
    It was a huge hit and another aunt who doesn’t like store bought ones as they’re too sweet for her, loved these.
    Thank you!

      Hi Uma,
      Yeast is pretty easy to find. You would find it in Tesco. Tesco has home brand as well as other brands too. Look for it in baking section.

      Nafeeza u can use yogurt but u have to keep longer may be overnight. It’s batter u use yeast . So Jalebi is ready in 1 hr and 30 minute or may be less then that time. Hope this answer is work for u.
      Have a nice day!

    December 30, 2011 at 8:40 am

    Hi aunty. Are you are using the rapid rise yeast or the active dry yeast? I am from India (Hyderabad), so did not find the rapid rise yeast in the grocery store. I proofed the active dry yeast and the batter u know kind of got very thick and my jalebis did not come out very well.
    I would like to ask that if i proofed the dry yeast, then it should be how much time and how much yeast should i use for 2 cups of maida? Thanks a lot. Your recipes are great!

    Anjum,
    Yeast will have a big impact on the flavor and taste of such items / recipes.
    In this regard, it’s probably always best to follow the recipe accordingly and not to substitute.
    Good luck and I suggest trying again.

    Radha – are you using fresh / new oil when you are frying the jalebis? Sometimes if you are using “old” oil that has been stored in the refrigerator after using it for previous frying – that might be the reason why or maybe the oil was rancid perhaps because you had it stored outside or it might have just gone bad?? …. just a thought. I hope this was helpful.
    I’ve had an occasion where after I’ve fried something in my deep fryer – I stored the oil in the refrigerator – then after reusing the oil on another ocassion – it didn’t taste right. Although I never would fry pakoras or veggies and then use that same oil to fry something sweet…..

    Thanks

      Shubh
      June 2, 2010 at 3:17 pm

      Radha… it may be due to the type of oil u used. Always use vegetable or canola oil… and fresh one only. Dont overheat the oil….

    that’s a wonderful recipe! I want to try but have a question…If I fry the jalebies and keep it for few hours. Then soak it in hot syrup before I serve them, will they taste the same as compared to freshly fried?

    Hi Aunty,

    I used your base receipr but i used curd and baking powder instead of yeast or rising the batter.
    I fermented the batter for 2 hours.
    Jalebis turned out excellent!.
    People like me who do not like the smell of yeast can try this variation.
    Thanks

        Hi Jaya,

        You can use 1/4 cup plain curd mixed with 1/4 cup cold water.Just add 1 pinch of baking powder.Beat the batter so that all lumps are removed. Even instant results are quite good if u dont have time to ferment.
        Thanks

    Hi Manjulaji, I looked at your Jalebi video and am really inspired to try them out… however i have one question regarding the yeast… which brand do you use/prefer. I see a bottle of yeast in the video but not able to see the brand or the name. I have packets of yeast at home – 2 types- one is rapid rise and the other the regular type. Which one to use for this recipie?

    Please let me know at your earliest convenience, I want to make them for my son. and myself too 😉

    Thanks!

      Jaya
      April 21, 2009 at 3:40 pm

      Good job with the Hindi. For “hu” you should use “hoon” as it is the conventional way of spelling it in English. Some Hindi books use spellings like “hu” that are not a conventional transliteration of Hindi to English. I don’t know why they do it, but I have seen it in Hindi tutorial books here in the US.

        john
        April 27, 2009 at 3:29 pm

        yes as per a phonetical translation indeed you are right, but as per my course it is translated as hu. but the ‘u’ has a straight horizontal line above, then a wavy line above that.. indicating an elongated sound, and a nazalised sound… unfortunately it is not possible to get such a symbol up here, and too inconvenient. in the same sence, the ‘i’ in mai (main) is also nazalised, having a wavy line above it (~) .. thanks 🙂

          Jaya
          April 27, 2009 at 4:59 pm

          Yes, I know exactly what you mean with “hu” and the squiggly line. I follow the convention used in India and wish that some of the authors of Hindi books (usually non-Indians) did not dilute it with these new variations as it creates confusion and makes it harder to pronounce unless you study up on the author’s legend for pronunciation. Anyhow, continued good luck with your learning. 🙂

    Jelebi is one of our favourite sweet. I always thought it can not be made in home only be bought from the store. But with surprise I found out today ” I made it!”. I am so happy to see perfect jelebi on my dish!
    Thank you again and very best wishes for my favourite cook!

    Dear Auntie Manjula!

    Thank you for your amazing website. I am (also) writing from Norway, where you’ve apparently have made a huge fan base. 🙂 just wanted to ask you a little question. I’ve learned that you should let the dough ferment for as long as you can. Even a day or two…that of course makes “smell” a problem, is that the reason you dont want the batter to ferment for long or is it because of other reasons. In that case,-what is the reason?

    Thank you again for your website.

    how to store jalebi crisp like store for long time

      Jaya
      March 26, 2009 at 5:24 pm

      Home made sweets will not keep as long as the store bought ones in many cases because the store bought ones often are made with some type of preservative and home made ones are not.

      How much time is a “long time” that you want to keep these? A week? A month? Longer?

    I tried jalebis…they were very crispy..but why do we have to put lemon juice?? as i dint like the taste of lemon juice. i prepared the syrup again w/o lemon juice but the sugar separated after it got warm…

    also i had put exact 1/3 cup water…so i think while making it was too tough to squeeze it out i think more water should have been there

    thank u so much for easy recipe

    Barkha, baking powder and yeast are not interchangeable.
    Yeast packets are easy to find in the baking section of grocery stores. Do check the date on them. You won’t get good results with old yeast.

    hi,

    i had been experimenting on jalebi recipes since quite sometime, but none can be more perfect than this one…

    just right on first trial, absolutely crisp & sweet..

    my family loves jalebi & after coming to US, it was like an “endangered sweet” as none of the indian stores carried a decent stock..

    i am so glad i tried this recipe & it turned out just perfect..

    next time for a special occasion, im going to fry the jalebis in ghee, dip them in saffron favored syrup & garnish with slivered nuts..

    thanks for the lovely recipe, Manjulaji you are a genius !!!!

    Hi Meettu,
    Saffron gives color and flavor. If you don’t have it, just omit it. You will get flavor from the cardomom as well.

    If possible, buy a small container of it from the Indian grocery store because it does add a nice dimension to sweets.

    I have a question.How much yeast should we use if we want to prepare double the quantity?Should we increase it propotionately?Since ,I made about 200 jilebis and when I left the paste for 1 hour ,it was overflowing….

    hi manjula..I saw ur receipe of Jalebi..I’ll like to give you my opinion in making the Jalebi..This is ususally how I make it at home.. Instead of frying all the Jalebi’s and then dipping them in the syrup, its better if it is fried n immediately dipped in the syrup as the jalebi will taste more good.. I mean 1st make jalebi and immediately put it in syrup n make other jalebi, after that take out the jalebi’s from the syrup and then put the new jalebi’s fried in the syrup..

    Hello Neeta,
    Gulab jamuns are often hard because the dough is not soft enough if needed add more milk to dough as needed. Gulab jamuns should be cooked on low heat.

    I tried the Jalebis recently and I was happy it did work out for me. My daughter likes Jalebis and I always buy them for her. Now it’s so easy to make them. If you work with the exact amounts given for the ingredients you can’t go wrong.

We tried the jalebis and they were v good! Is it possible to make them without yeast, since yeast is not so easily avaiable here? Also please could you give us your receipe for the Bengali sweet, ChumChum ?

    Hi Mrs. Manjula:
    Trying your recipes almost everyday and obviously loving them. Now time to make Jalebi. If I want to do it thick and juicy what different I have to do?
    I made Rasmali, turned out excellent! I actually made the Rusgulla with twin sugar and the milk sauce of Rasmali with twin sugar for my diabetic friend and she just loved it. While I made the syrup I tasted the water for sweetness before adding more twin sugar, and this way it was perfect no bitterness. I am so happy for that. I got this confidence from you Manjulaji, not scared to experiment, it is kind of fun too.
    Best wishes for my favourite cook!!!!!

    Namaste Mrs.Manjula
    I was always thinking of Jalebi’s to be a dish cooked by professionals only.I never knew it was so simple and can be home-cooked.Thank you so much.Im so excited to know that my favourite sweet is not only at any Indian store but also in my home just a preparation-time away.
