Jalebi

DSC00501

Jalebi - Sticky, bright gold swirls of pure pleasure that are deliciously fun to eat. I am not really fond of sweets, but when it comes to jalebi’s I can just go on and on and on and……… :)

So hope over to Asha’s recipe for details while you see the fun I had while trying my hand at these swirling beauties!!!! :) The only change I made was to add a bit of gram flour to it since it brings out the crispiness of jalebi’s!! :)

When I started with it first it seemed difficult to get perfect swirls. I could only get a few croocked strands!! :(

 

 

 

 

 

Gradually, it started curving a bit!

 

 

 

 

 

 

SIGH!!!!! something was happening!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nearly there………

 

 

 

 

 

 

PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!! :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

Two at one go!!!! :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

And finally tried a JUMBO !!!!!!!! (But don’t attempt!!! It breaks !!! :) )

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enjoy these swirling golden beauties while they are hot and crispy!!!!! Ever tired it with vanilla ice-cream? It’s heavenly!!!!! :D
