Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 100 grams
• Cornstarch - 25 grams
• Baking powder - 1/4 teaspoon
• Yogurt - 1 tablespoon
• Water - 150 milliliters (for batter)
• Ghee - for frying
• Sugar - 200 grams (for syrup)
• Water - 200 milliliters (for syrup)
• Cardamom powder - 1/4 teaspoon
• Saffron strands - a pinch (optional)
• Milk - 500 milliliters (for rabri)
• Condensed milk - 2 tablespoons
• Nuts (almonds, pistachios) - for garnish

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, yogurt, and water to form a smooth batter. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. In a saucepan, combine sugar and 200 ml water to prepare the syrup. Heat until the sugar dissolves, then add cardamom powder and saffron strands. Keep it warm.
3. In another saucepan, bring milk to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer, stirring frequently until it thickens (about 15-20 minutes). Stir in condensed milk and set aside.
4. Heat ghee in a deep frying pan. Fill a piping bag with the batter, and pipe spiral shapes into the hot ghee, frying until golden and crisp on both sides.
5. Remove the jalebis from the ghee and immediately dip them in the warm sugar syrup for a few seconds, ensuring they are well coated.
6. Serve the jalebis hot, topped with a generous amount of rabri and garnished with chopped nuts.
