Jalebi recipe-Instant VS Traditional

[prernamudliar]

Which one tasted better according to you?? Actually I have tried yeast one before(not your recipe) and didn't like it much...but I guess you prefer instant than traditional, right?

In traditional recipe you need to store batter at room temperature for 24hrs??

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@prernamudliar

Hi

Traditional taste great and I like that equally. But most of the time, I decide to make Jalebis all of a sudden so most of the time, I make instantly. But to me both taste great. If you don't like instant you can make batter 24hrs ahead without any yeast.

[naiha5]

did I hear u right... u really ADDED TUMERIC POWDER/ HULDI to a sweet dish??? it has a certain smell infact quite a strong smell...I am really reluctant to try this recipe!!!

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@naiha5

You will even forget that you really added turmeric. Give it a try and you won't be disapointed just for pinch of turmeric. Rather than adding fake colors, this is good. Rest is up to you and you won't fail ever with instant one if you follow exact recipe. Some people will not add corn starch or rice flour and then come back here telling recipe did not come out good...so...enjoy!

[rishurich1]

oh god...i just try to make the traditional one,and it turned so soft like puri and soogy...don't know why...i used baking powder and didn't add corn starch...

my mum is so angry after me,i really messed her kitchen...

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@rishurich1

If you don't add corn starch, you won't get crispy jalebis. If you don't have corn starch, you can use rice flour even but without these flours, jalebis won't be crispy. Remember that all purpose flour makes things chewy and soggy if you do not add other flours with it.

[naeemamajeed]

can we use instant yeast instead of rapid rise yeast

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@naeemamajeed

HI

Yes.

[ShaheenShine123]

I made these and they were delicious!! just like when I was younger and my dad would take me to the indian market :D thank you so much now I know how to make these. I doubled the recipe and my whole family ate them.

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@ShaheenShine123

Hi

Very glad to hear all these...keep making and enjoying with family...I wish you to have more family great moments...

[SuperFm12345]

hi i make the jalebi but it dedint come out good the jalebi was soo bed i mean it was so soft i dont no why

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@SuperFm12345

Hi

Which one did you try? Instant or traditional? Jalebi gets soft if sugar syrup is not thick enough and if you do not add corn starch in batter, it won't be crispy...

[ShaheenShine123]

I don't have safron can I make this without? Thanks.

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@ShaheenShine123

HI

Yes, leave out saffron.

[nsns0000]

i like the rapid way of making jalebi....thx.....n i love ur T-shirt....

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@nsns0000

Hi

yes, instant one always come right...enjoy!

[RememberLilly3001]

did you add kesar and oil after 24 hours or right away and then waited 24 hours to ferment?

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@RememberLilly3001

Hi

You can do either way...

[PurpleChef21]

OMG! I havent even finished watching and my mum just got up to make the instant one!

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@PurpleChef21

Hi

[TheSheenkay]

when i make it never comes goood :(

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@TheSheenkay

This Jalebi recipe takes little practice....but have you tried instant one? Ever since I started instance, never went wrong in my case. Actually now I make even far more better than I showed even in video....Jalebis are my hubby's favorite so I make it often and now I am plannig to show another video on it with lots of tips...so hope people like you will get more idea and confident...

[TheSheenkay]

@SuperVeggieDelight

oh that would be great, im looking forwords for it

i love jelabi too :P

and i tried lots of diferent recipe it didnt come good, used so many kitchup bottles lol my mum was angry coz i had to empty it and at the end of the day the jelebi were in rubbish bag :(

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@TheSheenkay

Hi

Yes, I can assure you that instant recipe deos work.

[MyDramaChannel]

I make every thing but when it comes to jelebi it's very difficult i even tried many time but it dosn't work, hopfully I will try after waching your videos. thanks for the hard work.

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@MyDramaChannel

Hi

As I said Jalebi takes little practice but if you try instant one, you will never go wrong. I have noticed that when you make traditional way, if better is not well feremented, you won't get success at making jalebis out of it but with instant jalebi recipe, jalebis comes out always perfect....

[Shailyjmishra]

@SuperVeggieDelight thanks a lot .. i ve tried it.. and it was really yummyyy!!

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@Shailyjmishra

HI

Thanx for coming back to share.

[fatimaraza29]

I hope you keep doing more recipes and upload it on YouTube so we can learn and enjoy the food which you upload.wish you luck for your future.

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@fatimaraza29

HI

I already have now more than 400 vids on this channel...will sure keep doing!

[fatimaraza29]

I LOVE IT WHEN U R HOLDING BOTH OF THE BATTERS IN YOUR HAND AT 13:01

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@fatimaraza29

HI

Enjoy!

[nicolemaryam]

Great! I was thinking I wanted to find out how it's made, and was thinking maybe you had a video, and of course you do!

I wonder if it's possible to make a gluten free version of this recipe?

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@nicolemaryam

Hi

Yes, it is possible. Do you have any idea if any store around you carry gluten free plain flour? If so you can make Chhena Jalebis with indian cheese and little amount of flour. Now, if you can't find gluten free plain flour, try replacing it with rice flour. For recipe, visit bhavnaskitchendotcom.

[nicolemaryam]

@SuperVeggieDelight Thanks for your quick response! Well I'm not sure what you mean by plan flour, as there are so many different flours out there! I do have rice flour, will it work with that? Or would a mixture of different flours be better? What are Chhena Jalebis? And what is Indian cheese?

Also, can you use any plain yogourt for this, is Greek yogourt okay?

Thanks so much, I truly appreciate it, I can't wait to make these!

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@nicolemaryam

Hi

Did you visit website for detail recipe of Chhena Jalebi? If not, please visit and you will get more idea what I am talking about. And you can use rice and arrowroot flour for gulten free flours.

[nicolemaryam]

@SuperVeggieDelight I used the link in the video, is Chhena Jalebi the proper name, because it just says Jalebi. I searched your site for Chhena, and it came up with two different recipes.

I will ask my mom for some flours as she is the one who has a gluten intolerance. For now, I will try the original recipe, and I guess I will use the Greek yogourt, since that is what I have. :)

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@nicolemaryam

HI

I said bhavnaskitchendotcom not the old sites or the one linked with this video. If you go to homepage of this channel, you will get link to all my websites. And chhena jalebi recipe is on bhavnaskitchendotcom.

[nicolemaryam]

@SuperVeggieDelight Thank you! I didn't catch that before, I just clicked the link :) Thanks for sending me the link. Love your videos, can't wait to try some homemade jalebi :D

HI

Enjoy!

[grevati]

Hi bhavna, Finally successful in making jalebi. This time I tried instant method and and they came out great - tasty & crunchy.Now I surely know, the batter was not good last time. Sometimes Yogurt doesn't ferment the batter well. I used to make sooji cake using Dahi in India, I made it using Yougurt and it failed too.Thank you for all your help....!

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@grevati

HI

yes, I shared in one of the video of Dosa about fermentation problem here. But glad that instant method worked for you. These days, I also just follow instant one since my hubby loves instant one only....keep enjoying!

[fatimaraza29]

MY JELEBI WAS NOT THAT MUCH GOOD BUT IT WAS STILL YUMMY.

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@fatimaraza29

HI

It takes little practice, next time, you make, it will little more yummier and when you make couple of time more, you will learn something new everytime and finally you will make great Jalebis like me...enjoy!

[fatimaraza29]

the best snack ever jelebi

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@fatimaraza29

HI

Enjoy!

[fatimaraza29]

i am a jelebi lover.

i am gonna try this today the trdational jelebi!!!

i cant wait to eat!!!!!

thumbs up if you are a jelebi lover>

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@fatimaraza29

HI

My hubby loves Jalebi a lot. I make often for him so I am planning to share more tips in my next Jalebi video for those who have lot of questions. It is very simple once it gets on your hand but initially, it takes little efforts knowing about oil temperature, batter consistancy and stuff like that. These days, in my traditional jalebi, I aslo add rice flour, for 1/2 cup plain flour, add 1-2 tbsp corn starch and 1tbsp rice flour and you will sure love crispyness

[fatimaraza29]

@SuperVeggieDelight thankyou for sharing the tips

[fatimaraza29]

@SuperVeggieDelight i am gonna die c uz i cant see some one eating jelebi when i am hungry

[MyCheaky]

nice recipe but i sorry ur accent if fake 

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@MyCheaky

Hi

As I said earlier, If my accent is fake, it won't last long since fake things don't last long....let's see how far I can go with fake accent...cheers, enjoy!

[kavitadesai2005]

Thanks for sharing this video, my little son is too much fond of jalebi and place where we are staying ..jalebi is not available in market .. so i tried at home and it was really nice ..and tasty ..!! I have tried traditional receipe...!!Thanks a lot for sharing food receipes and keep it up !!

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@kavitadesai2005

Hi

Now, next time, give a instant try and you will sure love...enjoy!

[grevati]

True, I had made the batter as shown, so just trying to find out the reason.Two possibilities - a. batter fermentation b.yogurt

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@grevati

Hi

Next time, keep batter little thicker and see if that works..and these days, I add rice flour and jalebis comes out great. 1 cup maida + 2 tbsp rice flour + 1 tbsp corn starch for extra crunchy jalebis...enjoy!

[grevati]

Hi,

I tried traditional method. I searched on the net and I found the consistency of batter is important for jalebi. Jalebies are flat, if consistency of batter is not correct . I am going to try jalebi again and would let you know the result :)

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@grevati

Hi

I did say in video that consistancy of batter, syrup and temperature of oil are the most improtant factors for making great jalebis...you will sure learn soon...enjoy!

[fairy4fly]

i tried making jalebiiz but they were wat too soft :-( what could be the reason?

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@fairy4fly

Hi

It might be due to sugar syrup, make it more thick if your jalebis are soft....

[grevati]

Hi Bhavna,

I tried Jalebi, but it became flat in frying pan. They were crispy and taste was good. What is the mistake?? I think batter fermented too much.

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@grevati

Hi

Might be or may be the temperature of oil...

[leelalgr]

@grevati

Hi, my Jalebis go flat in oil while frying.  What is wrong. I have tried many different receipes . But they scatter in oil while frying. What to do ? --Plesae help if you can. ----Tyhansk, leela.

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@leelalgr

Hi

Did you try instant or tradtional? In any case it doesn't get flat if you have right temperature...

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@grevati

Hi

Which one did you try? Instant or traditional?

[leelalgr]

@SuperVeggieDelight

I tried instant method. I did keep tempreture good. is there something in batter ? Should i add some lemon juice to batter ? Will that not get flat in oil ?

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@leelalgr

Hi

No, you don't need lemon at all in batter. I am surprised and not sure what to tell since it is verye easy recipe to follow. Are you adding enough corn starch?

[leelalgr]

@SuperVeggieDelight

yes, i am adding enough corn starrch, as it says in recipe. What does corn starch do to it ? Should i add little more of that or what ? ----thanks.

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@leelalgr

Hi

Corn starch does help to make jalebis crispy and hold it's shape. Also make sure your batter is not overfermented.

[utdhhara]

Thanks Bhavna, for helping me out.... & sure will try to make jalebi, as you have said.... using rice flour in it......

n yeah, we love your recepies n easy techniques....  So, always keep posting new recepies & we'll enjoy cooking.....

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@utdhhara

Hi

You most welcome anytime...enjoy!

[utdhhara]

Hi Bhavna!

In making jalebi, you have used 2 spoon of "corn starch"... I'm confused here... or say, exactly I don't know "is CORN FLOUR & CORN STARCH same ?" or they both are different..... just help me out here....... so, that I can make jalebi

& also let me know "which quick rising yeast is used?" for pure vegetarians....

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@utdhhara

Hi

You can use rice flour if you have, last week I made with 1 cup plain flour + 3 tbsp rice flour and jalebis were awesome...so you can use either corn starch, corn flour or rice flour to make jalebis crispy...enjoy!

[hinaasdfghj]

Can you use chapati flour instead of maida?

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@hinaasdfghj

HI

You can give it a try but I have never tried with chapati flour...

[huzaifa1997]

i was thinking for making a blue jalebi lolx

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@huzaifa1997

HI

Well, you can go crazy with colors, you can add orange, green and blue of course...enjoy!

[nash1705]

The batter you set aside for 24 hours, did you keep it outside or in the fridge?

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@nash1705

Hi

To ferment, you need to keep out and not in fridge...

[MrWorld11love]

hi

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@MrWorld11love

Hello!

[MrWorld11love]

thanks bahavna



[chintuskp]

Hii Bhavna,

I tried this reciepie today , but after a few hours my jalebis went soft I wonder Why ? can you advise what might have gone wrong .I have taken exact measurements as you have shown .

Rgds

KP

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@chintuskp

Hi

This happens just b/c of not right consistancy of sugar syrup. If your sugar syrup is not 1 or 11/2 thread, it will get soft. When i make jalebi, they stay just as it is till we finish even after 2-3 days...Hope this helps.

[chintuskp]

@SuperVeggieDelight

Thanks a ton Bhavana Honestly I did think thats an issue so for the rest of the jalebis I again boiled the syrup a bit for 2-3 minutes.I will again try Jalebi's next week end and will let you know what happens....

Thanks for uploading this wonderful recipie.I am going to try the tuvar dal bhakri tommorrow hope I am successful.Thanks once again

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@chintuskp

Hi

Good luck for next try. And do not add tuvar dal. I make bhakris with fresh or frozen green tuvar not the dal. ENjoy!

[maal123]

@chintuskp

same happended to me also.. I will try again with some more thick syrup..

[chintuskp]

@maal123

I think you must make a 1 1/2 to 2 thread syrup .......I tried it again and it turned out awesome .... Also make sure that your bottle nozzle is not too small if it is cut it to make a bigger perforation....Just suggesting from my own experience ..........

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@chintuskp

HI

Yes, sugar syrup consistancy is very important. If the consistancy of your sugra syrup is right then only jalebis will be crispy and also will shine a lot..

[kumkumsum]

Beautifully done thnx 4 show us this recipe.My daughters love Jalebi so I m going 2 try it today

Thnx again

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@kumkumsum

Hi

Yes, kids love this jalebis. My son like it so much b/c it is juicy for him. Enjoy!

[iexperiment]

Hi Bhava,

I tried your jalebi recipe yesterday. It turned out to be so nice. Very yummmm! My weight conscious brother could not resist it.

But today, it has gone soggy.

Yesterday, It was nice and crispy.

Do you know why it became soggy today?

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@iexperiment

Hi

That's strange, I had mine for almost 3 days...it is possible that syrup might be not right consistancy or the batter. Did you make instant or traditional? Did you add exact measurement of corn starch?

[iexperiment]

@SuperVeggieDelight I think it could be the syrup. Mine was thick but not thick enough. And corn flour and corn starch are the same right? I put an approx half tbsp of corn flour.

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@iexperiment

Hi

corn starch and flour are two different things. Corn starch help to keep them crunchy for long time, on the other hand, when you use other flour such as rice, corn, it will be crispy when you make, but after couple of hours, it will loose it's crunchyness. So next time, try to follow exact recipe measurement with right ingredients and you will sure love them anytime, even after couple of days....Enjoy!

[iexperiment]

@SuperVeggieDelight Of course my attempt is to follow the recipe to the tee. So I did my research and saw on Wikipedia and it says that corn starch and cornflour are the same. It is called as cornflour in common wealth nations including India i.e. where I'm from.

Probably, I should try thicker syrup next time. And will let you know how that round turns out to be.

But don't forget that I did mention that they tasted great anyways.

Enjoy :)

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@iexperiment

Hi

Here in the USA, we have corn starch very starchy powdery and corn flour is coarse and not powder. I am glad that you liked the taste but I would love to help you to make it perfect. So let's see when you make next time. Enjoy!

[iexperiment]

Hi Bhava,

I tried your jalebi recipe yesterday. It turned out to be so nice. But today, it has gone soggy. Yesterday, It was nice an crispy.

Do you know why it became soggy today?

[RoSesHeaRtSTaRs]

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@nabeelhayat

Hi

I did say that I think in video that once it is fermented for about 15-20mins, if you are not able to make it right a way then place the bottle in the fridge to prevent over fermenting. Thanx for sharing. Enjoy!

[batasi]

this is wonderful ,i wish i can make it like you ,,

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@batasi

Hi

Honestly, I am not good at making jalebis shape wise. It does taste great but the only problem with the shape. But getting better and better as I make them at least once a month these days...but believe me, you might be able to make better than me!!

[Cidtalk]

That looks so delicious!! You make it look easy, but I but it's tricky to get the batter to make the nice shapes.

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@Cidtalk

Hi

Yes, very tricky. If you make just little watery and you won't be able to make good jalebi. So the consistancy of the batter is very important for this recipe. But if you add water slowly, then you can't go wrong. Enjoy!

[suppusoora]

hi bhavna, great recipe...

how much water did u add in the natural fermented batter???

[SuperVeggieDelight]

@suppusoora

Hi

Honestly, I just eyeball. Just keep adding slowly so you know how much to add. The reason is that even if I tell you the measurement all flours are different and they take different amount of water. Just focus on the consistancy of batter. easy to pour consistancy just like cake batter. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

[tatri1]

Looking good in white Bhavana.
