I thought I had a ready mix at hand - but I didn't.
So here is how I prepared my Jalebis from scratch -
Batter - 8-10 heaped table spoons of plain flour, 3 table spoons of gram flour, 5 table spoons of sugar, 1 table spoon of baking powder. Add water to achieve cake-mix consistency (so that it drips of the spoon in strands rather than drops).
Syrup or Chaashni - 1 portion of sugar & 1.25 portion water - left to boil for about 1 hour, then cooled to thicken such that it coats the back of the spoon.
Process - Let the batter rest for about 30 min. Then fill it in a squeeze ketch up bottle.
Heat cooking oil in a wok (kadahi) on medium heat. Test if the oil is hot enough by 1 drop of batter - it should bubble and rise immediately. If the oil is heated enough then start squeezing small circles of batter from the bottle. Don't worry too much about the shape :)
Dip hot jalebis into chaashni for 20-40 seconds and put aside.
Yummy jalebis are ready :)
