Frequently Asked Questions

Expand All:

How is jalebi made of?

Traditionally, the jalebi recipe is made with a batter of all purpose flour, gram flour (besan), baking soda and water that is fermented for several hours. The fermented batter is then poured in concentric circles in hot oil and deep-fried. These fried spirals are then soaked in a flavored sugar syrup and served.

How can I make my jalebi soft and crispy?

Prepare a sugar syrup – it can be the same one you prepared for your jalebi – and heat it up until it's hot. Dunk your jalebi in it one after one, keeping them in for a few seconds at a time. This will restore their crispiness as well as enhance their natural taste.

Can jalebi be made without curd?

Try this easy homemade jalebi recipe that is made without yogurt, besan, or yeast. This Indian sweet is very crispy and ready instantly.

How long can jalebi last?

Like sooji halwa, laddu or jalebi can be kept out of the fridge in winter and eaten within 6-8 days or 15 days if kept in the fridge.
