Jangiri

I always had a fascination to this jangiri. It looks like jalebi's but lil thick and tastes different. When we feel like eating jangiri usually we buy them from shops as mom used to say "we cant make it at home" . After coming to US i cant think of buying any indian sweets as we used to buy india. One fine day i was so tempted to eat these jangiri's i decided to try it at home. So here goes the recipe for jangiri

INGREDIENTS

Urad Dal - 1 cup

Rice flour - 1 tbsp -

Sugar-1 1/2 cup for making syrup

lime juice - 1tsp

water - 3/4 cup

Safron food color

Method

1)Wash and soak the dal for atleast 3 hrs

2)In a heavy bottom pan boil the water and add sugar to it and stir well till the sugar dissolves in water and once it start boil well add some lime juice. This prevents from forming crystals in the sugar syrup

3)Drain the water from the urad dal and grind to a very fine paste without adding much water and add safron color. If u think the dal mix is a lil thin add rice flour to get the right consistency.

4)Make a small hole in the zip lock bag so that u can pipe the jangiri.

5)Pour the mix to zip lock bag and pipe it into oil, if oil is too hot u will not get the jangiri in the right shape. So make sure the oil is at the right temperature.

6)Put the fried jangiri into sugar syrup for not more than few min coz they will turn soft.

7)Serve hot. Jangiri looks and taste great.
