Try out this Apple jalebi which will be ready within not more than 30 minutes.
Ingredients:
2 Apples
1 cup all purpose flour / maida
1 cup curd
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Clarified butter / Ghee for frying or vegetable oil
For syrup
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 cups water
Few saffron strands
For garnishing :
Almond flakes
Silver leaf
Method :
In a medium size bowl, mix all purpose flour, curd, baking soda. Now make a batter like cake batter. Add water if needed. Rest it for 10 minutes.
Make sugar syrup by adding water, sugar and saffron in a saucepan. Make it little thick ( two string consistency ) .
Cut the apples into roundels, scoop out the seeds . Dip the apple slices into the batter and deep fry in hot ghee or oil over low flame till they are light golden colour. Remove from oil and soak them in syrup for a minute or two . Do not dip the fried apples in sugar syrup for too long, otherwise it will turn soggy.
Take them out from the syrup and garnish with chopped nuts and silver leaf to give a fancy look.
