kesar jalebi recipe /Instant homemade jalebi
Its diwali and not to mention colourful variations of sweets is all around us filling our eyes and tummy. I love to try various sweets for each diwali and this time I have tried this kesar jalebi recipe. Many don’t know the difference between the jalebi and jangri. Jangri is made with rice and urad dal it will be soft and juicy and Iam eager try out some day.Jalebi is done with all purpose flour with all crispy outside and juicy inside. It was so yummy crispy juicy with best saffrony aroma. Authentic way to do this jalebi is to ferment for a day and then do the recipe. This time I have tried the instant version 
using curd and baking powder.These kesar jalebi recipe tastes crispy for some hours and thats why it should be enjoyed hot or warm. After some time it becomes soggy and looses its crispness. Some add cornflour for added crispness but this method itself came out good for me. This is a very easy sweet to try but some tricks will do all the magic like the consistency of the batter and sugar syrup. If this do comes out correct then you get mouthwatering yummy jalebi’s for sure.

Notes
Consistency of the batter is dosa batter consistency not thin more than this.
You can use artificial colour but I have used turmeric powder here.
Lemon juice added is to prevent crystallization.
No need to have single thread consistency switch off just before that.
Baking powder itself is enough no need to add baking soda.
