Jalebis

Ingredients

1 cup maida (flour)

1/2 cup yoghurt

A pinch of salt

A pinch of yellow food colouring (optional)

1 cup sugar

A pinch of saffron

1 cup of water

1/4 tsp cardamon powder

Oil or ghee to deep fry

Method

Mix flour, yoghurt and salt well to avoid lumps. Add some water to obtain pouring consistency. Heat oil. Put the flour-yoghurt mixture or paste in a cloth bag with a hole or a funnel. This is to be used for squeezing the paste out and form the jalebi shape. Form spirals while pouring the paste directly on the hot oil. Deep fry the spirals till golden. Make thick sugar syrup with one cup of sugar and one cup of water. Add saffron and cardamon powder. Dip the jalebis in the sugar syrup.
