Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Batter:
  2. In a deep bowl, make a smooth batter of the flours, baking powder and lukewarm water.
  3. Let batter rest unrefrigerated and uncovered 12 hours.
  4. Syrup:
  5. Immediately before frying the jalebis, combine sugar, cold water and cream of tarter in 4 qt. saucepan.
  6. Stir over moderate heat until sugar dissolves.
  7. Increase heat to high and cook briskly, undisturbed for 5 minutes, until 220 F on a candy thermometer.
  8. Remove from heat, stir in food colouring and rose water.
  9. Pour into a bowl and set aside.
  10. Jalebis:
  11. Pour 3 cups vegetable oil into a 12 wok or a 10 karhai or into a deep fryer to 2-3 inches.
  12. Heat oil to 350F.
  13. Spoon 1-1/2 cups of the batter into a pastry bag fitted with a plain tube 3/16 diameter.
  14. Squeezing batter directly into hot oil, loop a stream of batter back and forth 4-5 times to form a sort of pretzel made up of alternating figure 8's and circles, one over the other.
  15. Each jalebi should be about 3 long and 2 wide.
  16. In batches of 5-6, fry the jalebis for 2 minutes, or until golden on both sides.
  17. As they brown, transfer them to the syrup for a minute, then place them on a plate.
  18. Serve hot or at room temperature.
