How To Make Aloo Ki Jalebi | Aloo Jalebi Recipe:
For the preparation of this jalebi, first you need to make sugar syrup by boiling sugar, cardamom powder and a pinch of saffron in the water for 5-6 minutes.
Then, in a container, add flour, boiled mashed potato, curd, a pinch of salt and mix well to make a consistent and thick mixture. Pour the mixture in a cloth and make a hole in the cloth. Now, squeeze the cloth to make spiral-shaped jalebis in a pan filled with hot oil. Deep fry till golden brown. The final round is to soak the jalebis into the sugar syrup for 2-3 minutes. Take the jalebis out of the syrup and voila!
Points to remember while making jalebi
- Try to get the right consistency in your jalebi batter - it should neither be thick, nor runny.
- While frying jalebi, make sure the flame is low to medium. High heat will leave jalebi uncooked from inside.
