Tips :-

• Slowly little at a time add Water to get right consistency.
• Add little flour if required to get right consistency.
• When you see small bubbles on the batter it shows it’s perfectly fermented.
• The batter when made should have a ribbon like consistency when dropped from a height.
• We don’t require any thread like consistency for the Sugar syrup, it should be just sticky.
• To check stickiness of Sugar syrup take a drop between index finger and thumb from the back of your ladle few seconds after taking it out from the syrup.
• Use a small vessel to make Sugar syrup to properly dip the Jalebi.
• Lemon helps to stop crystallisation of Sugar.
• In your Kadhai Oil or Ghee should not be less than 1.5 inch deep.if less Jalebi’s turn flat.
• If your Oil or Ghee is not appropriately hot Jalebi’s will turn flat.
• To make Jalebi Halwai uses a special cloth with a hole to squeeze out Jalebi.At home you can use a piping bag to squeeze out Jalebi.
• To make crispy Jalebi’s fry on low heat.
• If the Sugar syrup is too hot or dipped in syrup for longer time,Jalebi ‘s will turn soggy.
• If the Sugar syrup is thick or is not warm enoughJalebi’s won’t absorb the syrup.
