Jalebi

By Tinkushaji

There is no special introduction needed for this dish. Everybody loves Jalebi. I love it too. But this is the first time I am making it at home (after practicing the extrusion for half an hour. I made only little as this is my first time. Now that I am a little confident I hope to make this more for Diwali.

Heat oil in a wok.

Meanwhile in a bowl add maida, baking soda, salt, water, food color, cardamom powder and make a smooth lump free batter.

Take a clean cloth and fill it with batter make a bag and tie it tight at the top.

Cut the tip of the cloth to dispense the batter.
