Steps

45-50 mins

1

Mix together all-purpose flour, cornflour, and baking soda in a bowl. Now, add ghee and food colour to the above mixture. To make a thick batter add hung curd and water. Mix well until it is thick but has a slightly flowing consistency. Keep it aside for 8-10 hours to ferment.
2

To make the sugar syrup, heat water in a pan over medium flame. Add sugar and mix until fully dissolved. Simmer the syrup until it attains one string consistency. Add saffron, cardamom powder and rose essence. Stir well.
3

Now, heat oil in a pan over medium flame for deep frying. Fill the jalebi batter in a muslin cloth and pierce a small hole in the cloth. Squeeze the muslin cloth to make concentric circles. Move from inside to outside to make perfect circles. Fry till jalebis are crisp and golden.
4

Soak the jalebis in sugar syrup for 2-3 minutes. Ensure that the sugar syrup is warm and not very hot. Now, remove it from the syrup and place it on a tray lined with butter paper. Serve the Jalebi hot!
5

For fafda, add all ingredients, except oil for frying, in a pan and knead a dough. Knead for 5 minutes or till the dough turns soft and smooth.
6

Add a tsp oil and coat the dough well. Cover with moist cloth and rest for 30 minutes. Knead again for a minute making sure the dough is soft.
7

Pinch a ball-sized dough and make a cylindrical shape. On a wooden board place the dough and stick one side. Press and stretch it thin with the help of palms in the forwarding direction. Scrape off with the help of a knife without damaging the fafda.
8

Now deep fry in hot oil. Do not overcrowd the fafdas as they won't cook well. Stir occasionally keeping the flame on medium. Fry fafdas for a minute or two, till they turn golden and crispy.
Finally, Serve Fafda with hot Jalebis.!! Enjoy!!
