Tempering
Method
- Mix maida with a pinch of salt and enough water into a smooth, medium-thick batter, similar to pakora batter; cover and let it ferment at room temperature for 24-36 hours until slightly sour and bubbly.
- Whisk the fermented batter well just before frying so it flows smoothly but holds its shape when piped.
- Make the sugar syrup: dissolve sugar in a little water, bring to a boil with crushed cardamom, and simmer until it reaches one-string consistency; keep warm.
- Heat pure ghee in a wide, shallow pan for deep frying on medium flame.
- Pipe the batter in continuous overlapping spirals directly into the hot ghee.
- Fry until crisp and golden on both sides, turning once.
- Lift the hot jalebis straight from the ghee and dip immediately into the warm sugar syrup for 30-60 seconds, then serve hot.
