Ingredients

• Almond flour - 1/2 cup
• Psyllium husk powder - 1 tablespoon
• Baking powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - a pinch
• Water - 1/2 cup
• Erythritol - 1/4 cup
• Saffron strands - a pinch
• Cardamom powder - 1/4 teaspoon
• Ghee or coconut oil - for frying
• Rose water - 1 teaspoon (optional)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
2. Gradually add water to the dry ingredients, stirring until you achieve a smooth, thick batter. Let it rest for about 5 minutes.
3. In a small saucepan, heat erythritol, 1/2 cup water, saffron strands, and cardamom powder over medium heat. Stir until the erythritol dissolves completely, then simmer for 5 minutes to create a syrup. Remove from heat and add rose water if using.
4. Heat ghee or coconut oil in a pan over medium heat for frying.
5. Transfer the batter to a piping bag or a squeeze bottle. Once the oil is hot, pipe the batter into spiral shapes or concentric circles into the oil, frying for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy.
6. Remove the fried jalebis and immediately dip them into the warm syrup for a few seconds, allowing them to soak up the sweetness.
7. Place the jalebis on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess syrup, then serve warm.
