• Few strands of saffron (kesar)
• Water: 1 cup
• Lemon: a few drops
• Food color (optional)

Method for Preparing Instant Jalebi

Prepare the Sugar Syrup: In a pan, combine sugar, cardamom powder, saffron strands, water, a few drops of lemon, and a pinch of food color. Mix well until the sugar syrup reaches almost a one-string consistency.

Prepare the Jalebi Batter: In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour, baking soda, ghee, sour curd, and water to form a lump-free batter.

Frying the Jalebis: Fill a piping bag with the batter. Heat oil in a pan and pipe the batter into hot oil, forming the characteristic spiral shape of jalebis. Fry the jalebis on both sides until crispy.

Soaking the Jalebis: Immediately transfer the cooked jalebis into the prepared sugar syrup and let them soak for a few seconds.

Garnishing: Garnish the jalebis with nuts and silver leaf (varak) and serve hot.
