Instant Jalebi Recipe | Crispy Homemade Jalebi Easy Recipe

Instant Jalebi Recipe is made with all-purpose flour, cornflour and curd as main ingredients within 30 minutes, unlike traditional fermented batter. Learn how to make an instant jalebi recipe without adding yeast and with step by step image instructions, tips and a video.

This recipe is one of the easy and widely prepared sweet recipes during the festive season. We used to eat this recipe more frequently during my childhood as this is one of the affordable sweets.

Usually, the traditional batter is made by fermenting for hours or by adding little yeast. That process was time-consuming but our process is short, we add baking powder or ENO to give crunchy and to raise batter in a short time.

If you are making soft and crispy homemade jalebi for the first time we need to know that making spirals should be made a bit fast as they spread and the last spiral should be connected to another or last spiral. We can notice that within a few seconds they bulge and spirals spread over the pan.

Tips to make the perfect instant jalebi recipe:

• If you do not have corn flour, we can add rice flour to give a crunchy texture.
• While mixing batter try to keep batter lump-free with medium consistency.
• Pan for deep frying should not be shallow, if you have noticed on streets they use pan not deeper than 1-2 inches.
• If you have previous experience of putting batter using holed napkin it’s well and fine or else we can make use of tomato ketchup bottle.
• Adding lemon juice to sugar will keep it clear and it doesn’t form crystals.
• Usually, children love to eat jalebi recipes when they are colorful as they give an eye-compelling look. For this recipe, I have added artificial yellow color.
• Jelebi should be transferred to sugar syrup immediately and try to maintain a mild hot temperature and dip for a minute or two.
• If you are planning to store then store only after cooling or else they lose their crispy texture.
