Jalebi (Sweet) Recipe by Manjula, Indian Vegetarian Cuisine

[HakumatRai]

My Dear Manjula Didi

I made Jalebi for the first time today, to your receipe. My Mother who is 80 years of age and is an expert at making this food also commented highly of my effort. They were absolutely wonderful, not quite round but with practice I will succeed. A big thank you and acknowledgement to your good self.

[LibertarianPersian]

We have this sweet in Iran as well, never thought It's going to be found in India. Great

[titledprince]

@LibertarianPersian it was found in india first then it went to other countries...

[asaffin1]

Hi Manjula. Thanks for the video! If I wanted to add rose water to the recipe, how much should I use?

[MissMarissa90]

Hello ji, you´re really cool! Thanks for uploading and keep up :)

[taurchds]

hi aunty :)

i tried ur recipe for jalebi and i used oil.were yummy but thr was an oil smell in it . so what to do? can i use desi ghee instead of oil?

[321loira]

I surprised myself following your receipe...it came out so yummy and tasty in my first attempt... THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH Manjula aunty !! :o)

[cgvalle11]

I can't wait to make these!!!

[ansarnisar]

[MrBeeberg]

hello manjula anti how r u,i like your video very much,and i am now making jalebi's.

plz tell me what is all purpose flour is it corn flour or other ingredient???

[Manjulaskitchen]

@MrBeeberg All purpose flour is maida in hindi.

[tejpal17]

@MrBeeberg all purpose flour is self raising flour which is ( 90% plain flour + 10% baking powder )

[lccengr]

Aunty i wana ask one thing pls tell me aunty i have also the same coil stove ..pls tell me aunty i wanna make (bholi hui roti) on it what i have to dop for do so ..i am living in USA and here is not suce stove like asians ..waiting ur reply aunty

[randomkarinny]

@lccengr I have the same problem with the electric coil stoves - They are not very good at maintaining the temperature. I got an electric griddle with an actual thermostat instead of just low to high like the stovetop.

[dashingman1]

[sameersahab2]

manjula aunty can i put colour

[Manjulaskitchen]

@sameersahab2

your choice

[420dadi]

@Manjulaskitchen WHAT CAN I USE INSTEAD OF YEAST???? YOGURT????IF YES THEN HOW MUCH QUANTITY?????

[rehanasadique]

@420dadi dear i made it with yogurt and i used the yogurt to achieve the desire consistency , means i did'nt used water not a single drop even.and keep the batter overnight in a warm place, like a room where the heater was on the whole night.

[Mrballer781]

Hi,Manjulaji I like all ur recpies ,they are very good

[TheBiren123456]

hey thanx looking at u i remember about my mother mom (Nani) ,she looks like u

[tmkoc123]

[whyhedodat]

indian donuts!

[fjurgensen123]

I cant believe it,this is my favorite now I can make it at home...thank you so much

[foziyasweetgirl123]

watz yeast mam manjula ....watz d substitute of yeast ...can v use simple soda on behalf of yeast

[lovelysister]

@foziyasweetgirl123 yeast helps ferment the whole batter and i dont think we can substitute yeast for anything...you can find it in the bakery section of your supermarket!

[kinzibinzi14]

i have tried ur recipe and it was very delicious thanks for making delicious recipes

[pratimakapoor]

can we use soda instead of yeast

[Zimmette]

I would love to try making these for myself! I grew up with a friend who had a german mother and an indian father and the amazing food that came out of their house was to die for! These were one of the things that her Mom made and I just loved them!

[12mary12ful]

gram flour = besan ,that we usually use in making pakora's

[funshine468]

Thank you

[smile123alot]

Yes..looks very tasty & tempting...Is adding yeast necessary..& from where i can getit? thanks for sharing the recipe..

[kookoolisa]

@smile123alot you can get yeast in any grocery stores, just look in the bakery/flour/sugar aisle. Also you may ask a near by bakery shop if they have for sale. And yes yeast is necessary to make the batter raise. Thus why she said we have to wait an hour for it to raise, to make them nice and crispy. Hope this helps.

[bkrissy1]

hello, thank you so much for these videos, they are really helpful :)

[oops945]

@ayesha10ful : hey its besan dear, which we using while making pakora....!!!

[Manjulaskitchen]

@oops945

Yes

[ayesha10ful]

what atta is this after maida ??? can someone tell me and which powder is this after lemon jucie ?????? please reply soon

[kookoolisa]

@ayesha10ful For the syrup? It's cardamom powder. IT's a common seed used in indian/arabic cuisine. You can find it in pods or in powder.

[AlbinJi]

@shuklashweta02 Yes, she made a Jilebi.

[psychumar]

hello aunty!could you tell me the water and sugar ratio for the preparation of syrup.

[kookoolisa]

@psychumar She said 1 cup of sugar to 1/2 a cup of water. A pinch of cardamom powder, a pinch of Saffron, a teaspoon of lemon juice. Hope this helps.

[Manjulaskitchen]

@kookoolisa

Thank you

[pakindmuziq]

[ritu1810]

I would like to make these and serve hot .Can Ifry these a day earlier and put it in hot syrup just before serving. Please advise.

[Manjulaskitchen]

@ritu1810

Yes it is a good idea.

[decentbeautie]

@ritu1810 no the taste will spoil ... u can make them a day earlier and put it ina hot syrup and then refrigerate it .. next day u can heat them in micro and serve it hot ..

[dl4ch1606]

namesta manjula ji i am from delhi

i love your recepies,it is fantastic and the way you tell is very simple as my mother is guiding me.please tell us can we use anyother thing instead of yeast or can we make yeast at home,please tell us we are eagerly waiting for your answer.bye thank's

[mranita53]

hi aunty, can we make jalebi without using yeast? i mean can we use baking powder instead? plz answer.

[redventrue1]

@mranita53 I tried that and it works. You still have to let your batter sit one hour or it will fall apart. Jalebis come out crispy instead of chewy. Still tastes good.

[ravindersv76]

hi manjula anti ur all recipes are very nice, anti pls tell me what is all purpose flour. actually what atta we can use or jalebies

[Manjulaskitchen]

@ravindersv76

All purpose flour is maida

[MegaJapji]

means simple aata\maida

[indianipple]

beautiful lady

[GrapeLola]

Your videos are great - so easy to follow! Thanks!

[AR220310]

Hi Aunty, I have tried many of your recipes including rajma, chole, spicy alu etc. One doubt reg. this video- Should I make the batter, and put it in pre heated oven for few minutes (but the oven should be off not on?) is that correct, for how many minutes should the batter be in warm oven?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@AR220310 oven should be off not on

[AR220310]

@Manjulaskitchen Thanks for the quick reply

[burhanuddin95]

Hi Manjula Ji, I just had a question. Can i use baking powder instead of Yeast ? And which all the sweets can I substitue Splenda instead of Sugar?

[Dennistubex]

[missPeachytree]

[smiggle2003]

I have looked up many videos on how to make jalebi and they never worked out. sometimes they were either too soft or they broke apart... your video was my 5th and last attempt..... and it actually worked perfect so thanks for putting this simple to follow recipe and secondly for restoring my confidence in making jalebi. 

[stella1557]

[msainathan]

It nice to follow and prepare the Jakebi.  thank you for sharing from the video. sainathan

[MarkPMus]

Hello Manjula, I love watching your videos, and have tried a couple. Is it possbile that you could give a rough guide as to cup measurements in grams and millilitres. The cup is not a unit of measurement I am familiar with at all. Also, do you eat lovely food like this all the time or is it just a family treat saved for when you make the videos? Thanks for all your kindness in putting together this channel.

[87almas]

thank you aunty for this recipe ( i love jalebis). chotisi minor si problem occured while i was preparing, as u said i kept the batter in the oven ( but with oven on)

so wish me luck for the next time.

[gajanangaikwad]

Thanks Manjula

[newgirl7575]

Namaste Aunty!! U r my inspiration of cooking.Your recipes are just amazing...can i use baking soda instead of yeast??Pls reply

[potentperson]

Manjula, you have a new fan! I love your videos, thank you so much for sharing. I'm caucasian, but I grew up with my Indian step family, so you've really taken me back to my childhood with your recipes. I'm so excited I will finally be able to make some of this delicious food myself. Thank you :)

[kcarve45]

This wonderful woman cooks beautifully, with ingredients we can all find. XXX Mnajula

[msuuups21]

hi manjula anti is necessary to put color into the syrup can't we put it into the jalebi mix ??????



[Manjulaskitchen]

[srkbabygirl2005]

[msuuups21]

[pragya857]

Hello, Why have you used Yeast? Can we use anything else as a substitute of Yeast?

[Tessa302]

Looks sogood I must try it! I've been craving jalebis forever! How about a rabri recipe to go with it? :D

[Music100crazy]

HI Manjula ji,

I am a great fan of your videos, the ease with which you cook almost everything is worth appreciating. I was interested in cooking since I was a teenager. I always love to learn how others cook the same dishes that we cook at our home. I loved your Jalebi, Pani Puri and Samosa videos the best. I hope you continue to post different recipes for food-lovers like us. Only one regret is that we don't get to taste the dishes you make :(.... Thank u very much for all your efforts :)

[HoneySweetLotus]

Namaste Auntie Ji I was just wondering, do you add food colouring if you want them to be really orange in colour?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@HoneySweetLotus

I don’t use food coloring.

[Obi1Ken0b1]

@HoneySweetLotus The Safron in the syrup gives it a orange/red hint. That's the coloring.

[lovelysister]

@HoneySweetLotus the saffron brings the orangey color

[lubabah15]

How long are you supposed to cook the syrup?

[Deeeefrog]

where can i buy the cardamom powder?

[MichaelVR11]

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE RECIPE!!!!!............I am looking forward to trying this.... i have had many disasters with others lol

[feroluce]

Manjula ji I tried your nan, bhaturas, chole palak (only I substituted palak with methi and I think it tasted very good) and gulab jamun and they all came out fantastic. Ab jab mera result ayega tab main jalebiyan banaoonga. Thank you for your videos..Because of them I can eat all my favourite food even though I am here in the UK.

[duitola]

@Manjulaskitchen Namaste Aunty, at first many many thanks for your wonderful recipes.. I followed this recipe and made Jalebi several times, but my Jalebi does not absorbs the sugar syrup and thus remains dry inside. Please let me know what to do for a juicier inside. Thanks again.

[Manjulaskitchen]

@duitola

May be you over cook the syrup,

[mcoolvj]

Aunty i love u, more than your recipies. You remind me of my mother. One silly question. Is self raising flour exactly the same as maida or all purpose flour. And can i make stuff from self raising flour that i can make with maida or all purpose flour. Plz answer me aunty, m in a huge fix.

[GoldenPearl13]

Hello Manjula, I was just wondering if you could use Condensed Milk ? Because in Fiji my Nanny makes it with Condensed Milk ?

[boylan1974]

I love everything you cook....Ive tried several recipes and they are very easy and taste wonderful......thankyou for the help. Please keep posting diff videos .....look into writing a recipe book...I think you would be wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@singularku this is not a pretzel, they are sweet like nothing else. pretzels are not sweet at all.

[kokojooja]

I am big fan of your cooking.You have very easy Recipes.Dear Aunty May God bless you.

[FibonacciPrower]

Is the saffron necessary for the taste, or just for the colour?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@FibonacciPrower

Saffron is for flavor but this is optional.

[monikasehgal2008]

can we add any other thing instead of yeast?

[rhaini]

Delicious!!  Just made some! Thank you! (shukri-ay?)
