Directions
Jalebi,We had Punjabi neighbours who used to bring home lots of sweets from weddings they attended. These sweets are usually made in Indian sweet shops and there are a number of good ones around Vancouver. But I just couldn’t resist trying to make these, and begged a recipe. Most people will find these extremely sweet. You’re not supposed to eat more than one or maybe two, and usually you would have them with coffee or tea. They are at their best freshly made but don’t burn your mouth when they are HOT.,I wanted to try this recipe so I could use my newly purchased rose water. I didn’t want so many, so I did cut the recipe down. I had no trouble at all with the syrup, even though I wasn’t sure whether rose essence and rose water were the same strength. I tasted, and added slightly more of my rose water, and that was fine. The problem was the batter, which did not stick together at all. Although I followed the directions, I did use cake flour, rather than pastry flour (having only cake and bread flour), and a kind of Japanese rice flour. I think now that it might have worked if I had only added more flour at the end to thicken it. I may try that again some time. For the time being I would like to leave comments only, no stars. Thank you for an entertaining afternoon.,Oooh, these are wonderful! I remember enjoying these whenever colleagues would bring sweets to work, but because I did not know the name I always called them fried syrup! Thanks for sharing this recipe. It’s one I have already put into my recipe book.
