Notes
Syrup should be warm when we put the hot fried jalebi’s.
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.
