ghee

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Coconut oil provides a similar richness with fewer saturated fats.

condensed milk

🥗Healthier: evaporated milk

💰Cheaper: milk + sugar

Evaporated milk reduces sweetness while maintaining creaminess.

saffron

🥗Healthier: turmeric

💰Cheaper: yellow food coloring

Turmeric adds color without the high cost of saffron.

nuts

🥗Healthier: seeds

💰Cheaper: dried fruit

Seeds provide crunch and are often less expensive than nuts.

Prepare the dough by mixing flour, yeast, and warm water until smooth.

Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Shape the dough into small balls and let them rest for another 30 minutes.

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

Fry the dough balls until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Prepare the sugar syrup by boiling sugar and water together until dissolved.

Add cardamom and rose water to the syrup and stir well.

Soak the fried dough balls in the sugar syrup for at least 10 minutes.

For jalebi, mix flour, baking powder, and water to form a batter.

Pipe the batter into hot ghee in spiral shapes and fry until crispy.

Dip the fried jalebi in sugar syrup for a few seconds before serving.

Serve the dessert warm, garnished with nuts or coconut flakes.
