Honey provides a natural sweetness while jaggery is often more affordable.

ghee

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Coconut oil adds flavor and is healthier, while vegetable oil is cost-effective.

Mix all-purpose flour, yogurt, and baking powder in a bowl until smooth.

Add water gradually to form a thick batter.

Incorporate food coloring and cardamom for flavor and color.

Heat ghee in a deep pan over medium heat until hot.

Pour the batter into a piping bag or squeeze bottle.

Create spiral shapes in the hot ghee, frying until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Remove the fried jalebi and drain on paper towels.

In a separate pot, combine sugar, water, lemon juice, and saffron to make syrup.

Bring the syrup to a boil, then simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.

Soak the fried jalebi in the warm syrup for a few minutes.

Remove from syrup and let excess drip off.

Serve warm, garnished with rose water if desired.
