Prepare the batter by mixing 1 cup of all-purpose flour with the urad dal paste and gradually adding buttermilk until smooth.

Mix for about 101 minutes until the batter is light and smooth.

In a separate pan, prepare the sugar syrup by boiling 2 cups of sugar with 1.5 cups of water.

Add food color to the boiling syrup for a yellow color and optionally add rose water for fragrance.

Check the syrup for a one-string consistency and clarify it with lemon juice or milk if needed.

Once the syrup is ready, add cardamom powder for flavor.

Fill a sauce bottle with the batter for piping.

Heat ghee in a frying pan, ensuring it's not completely full.

Pipe the batter into the hot ghee in circular shapes, starting with a large circle and adding smaller circles inside.

Fry until golden and crisp, then flip to cook the other side.

Remove the jalebi from the ghee and dip it directly into the warm sugar syrup for 2-3 minutes before serving.
