Jaangiri:
Jangri. Jahangiri (as Mughal King Jahangir introduced this sweet). South Indian Jilebi, South India Jilebi. Jahangiri.
I have been wanting to make this sweet’ for a very long time. Hmmmm, it was bit tricky to make that perfect swirl. As a teenager, my very first attempt to make jangiri at home was a complete disaster. The resulted dish, made my Mom’s job easier (Yeah, I gave up experimenting sweets altogether after that). Anyhow, after several years, I gathered up some kind of guts to try this again. Guess, I did fairly decent. Though, I couldn’t perfect it, but its kind of okay with taste and I am glad that I tried.:)
Ingredients:
Urad Dal 1 cup
Red food color 1 pinch
Oil for shallow frying
Sugar Syrup 1 bowl full
Ziplock bag 1 / Cones / Wash bottle with nozzle- to fill the batter.
Method:
Soak urad dal for couple of hours and wet-griend the same to smooth batter.
Add food color and fill the batter in a cone/ketchup bottle.
Now heat up the oil. Make two small circular rings, followed by number of swirls above that. As shown in the picture. Thats it, you got it. Fry these till crisp. Repeat the same for the remaining batter.
Immerse them in strong sugar syrup for couple of minutes and remove immediately.
Chill and serve as a dessert.
Dear, this is super tempting my taste buds.. you made it sooo perfect and I love the color.
Wowww…. looks perfect and delicious.. Gr8 job dear!!
Wow, they look gr8! I am afraid to try them.. Had tried jalebis sometime.. the problem is they become soggy as soon as they are dipped in syrup.. how to fix it?
hats off to you Malar as you tried this at home. they are perfectly shaped, fried and soaked. looks like store bought and so inspiring. lovely recipe and thanks for this step by step pictorial.
Yum Yum… I want to have it now

Hey they have come out so nice.. I prepared jalebi ones and was a disaster.. I had taken pictures at that time..then after a long time.. I saw ur event..of kitchen mishaps…i wanted to send the entry..but somewhere that picture was lost…If u ever repost the event…will definitely send the horrible pictures
