Vegan Jalebi
A vegan version of the classic Indian sweet, Jalebi.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tbsp cornflour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp turmeric powder
- 1/2 cup plant-based milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 tsp cardamom powder
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- Oil, for frying
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornflour, baking powder, and turmeric powder.
- Gradually add the plant-based milk and mix until a smooth batter is formed.
- Cover the batter and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, prepare the sugar syrup by combining the sugar, water, cardamom powder, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer for 5 minutes until the syrup thickens slightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
- After 30 minutes, heat oil in a deep pan or kadhai for frying.
- Transfer the batter into a squeeze bottle or a piping bag with a round tip.
- Squeeze the batter in spiral shapes directly into the hot oil, starting from the center and working your way outwards. Fry until the jalebis are golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the jalebis from the oil and dip them into the sugar syrup for a few seconds. Make sure to coat both sides.
- Serve the vegan jalebis warm and enjoy!
