Steps

30 minutes

1

Prepare a sticky syrup by mixing 1 cup sugar with 1/2 cup water and set aside. Mix all-purpose flour, corn flour, yogurt, baking soda, and orange food color with a little water to make a smooth batter. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
2

Make a small hole in the cap of a plastic bottle. After 15 minutes, fill the bottle with the batter. Heat oil and squeeze the batter into the hot oil in circular shapes to form jalebis.
3

Fry the jalebis until they are crispy on both sides.
4

Dip the hot jalebis in the syrup for a few seconds, then remove them to a plate.
5

Garnish with sliced pistachios. The hot jalebis are ready to serve.
