Transfer the batter to a piping bag with a round tip.

Pipe spirals into the hot oil, creating a shape like a figure eight.

Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

In a saucepan, combine sugar, water, and lemon juice to make syrup.

Boil the syrup until slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Dip the fried jalebi into the syrup for a few seconds.

Remove and allow excess syrup to drip off.

Serve warm or at room temperature.
