25g gram flour
1 tbsp oil

Method
- Mix together the flours, oil, yogurt and water to make a medium
thick paste. Cover and keep overnight for fermentation.
- Prepare a two string syrup with the sugar and water. Add yellow
color and saffron to the syrup. Keep aside.
- Beat the flour mixture well and fill in a plastic bag with a hole
at the bottom.
- Squeeze out the batter by pressing the bag into the hot ghee.
- Drop medium sized whirls in a continuous flow beginning from outer
circle and ending in the center. This will give better shape to the jalebies.
- Fry them until crisp and golden color on both sides carefully.
- Drain and drop in the syrup. In 5 minutes, the jalebies will be
thoroughly soaked.
- Drain and serve hot.
