Key Questions Answered

To make instant jalebi, you need all-purpose flour (maida), curd, ghee, Eno, water, and oil or ghee for frying, along with sugar and water for the syrup.

Combine flour and Eno in a bowl, mix in ghee until incorporated, then add curd and water gradually. Whisk the mixture continuously until it becomes smooth and shiny, and then transfer it into a piping bag or sauce bottle.

Once the jalebis turn golden and crispy, immediately transfer them into warm sugar syrup and let them soak for a short while so they absorb the sweetness and stay juicy.
