Instant vegan jalebi recipe. Are you looking for a vegan jalebi recipe? That too made on instant then you are at the right place! This jalebi recipe is super quick, dairy-free, and needs only minimal ingredients from your pantry.
What is Jalebi?
Jalebi is a classic Indian sweet dish made with a fermented batter of lentils and or flour. The flour batter is then shaped into a circular pretzel shape and deep-fried in hot oil, followed by soaking in the sugar syrup.
They are quite popular in West Asian and Indian subcontinent cuisine and often served with Rabri, Milk, and or Poha.
INSTANT VEGAN JALEBI?
To make jalebi normally yogurt is used and the batter needs to be fermented for long hours. In this recipe, I have made vegan jalebis without any dairy products. This is a wonderful and fuss-free recipe that everyone can enjoy.
Basic Ingredients for Jalebi
- First- All purpose flour/Maida-Fresh all purpose flour would make nice and crispy jalebis.
- Baking powder-Helps in puffing up the jalebis.
- Saffron or food color-To give the jalebi a nice color.
- Sugar-To make the syrup.
- Oil-For deep frying the jalebis.
How to make Instant Vegan Jalebi?
To make the jalebi first step is to prepare the sugar syrup. Cook suagr and water in a saucepan for 3-5 minutes, the consistency should be slightly sticky. More or less like one string kind.
Now make the batter by adding all the ingredients for it in a mixing bowl. Stir and make a smooth free flow batter.
How to shape jalebis?
The confectionary shops use a muslin cloth to shape the jalebis. You could use a ketchup bottle or a piping bag for shaping the jalebis.
Shape the jalebis into the hot oil and deep fry from both sides until golden and crispy. Transfer the fried jalebis into the sugar syrup, soak for few seconds and remove from it.
Hot and crispy jalebis are ready to serve.
Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy the crispy deep-fried jalebis as such. If you’d like you can serve them with Rabri, Samosa, Poha, or Milk as well.
