Madhya Pradesh Poha Jalebi Breakfast Combination Indore

Method

1. 1

   Make jalebi batter: combine maida, semolina, yogurt and turmeric.

2. 2

   Add yeast water. Add enough water to make a smooth, thick pourable batter. Cover and ferment 30 minutes until bubbly.

3. 3

   Make sugar syrup: boil sugar and water until two-string consistency. Add saffron. Keep warm.

4. 4

   Heat oil for deep frying on medium-high.

5. 5

   Fill a squeeze bottle or piping bag with the jalebi batter.

6. 6

   Squirt the batter into the hot oil in circular spiral patterns 8 to 10 cm wide.

7. 7

   Fry on medium for 2 minutes per side until crispy and golden.

8. 8

   Drain. Immediately submerge in warm sugar syrup for 30 seconds.

9. 9

   Remove. The syrup penetrates the crispy jalebi.

10. 10

    Make Indori poha (as described in the separate recipe).

11. 11

    Serve hot jalebi alongside hot poha — eat bites of each together for the classic sweet-savoury Indore breakfast experience.
