Jalebi

Ingredients:
    2 cups self raising flour
    1/2 tsp baking powder
    1 cup yogurt
    1 cup sugar
    1/2 cup water
    Few strands of saffron
    1/4 tsp cardamom powder
    2 drops of Yellow food color (you can use orange)
    Sunflower ,Vegetable or canola oil for frying

Method:
1.Mix the flour, baking powder and yogurt into a batter and keep aside for 24 hours to ferment.
2.To make sugar syrup: Melt the sugar with water and boil to get a one thread consistency. To check for one thread consistency, carefully dip the tip of your index finger into the syrup, touch your finger and thumb together and gently tease apart. If one thread is formed between your finger and thumb the syrup is done.Turn off fire, add the saffron strands and cardamom and stir well
3.Pour batter into a ketchup dispensing bottle. 
4.Heat the oil in a deep frying pan. To test for the right temperature, drop a small amount of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and rises to the top of the oil, the oil is hot enough.
5.Now hold the ketchup dispenser over the hot oil and squeeze the batter into the oil into concentric circular motion to make the jalebis.
6. Fry till light golden and then remove and put directly into the sugar syrup.
7. Allow to soak for 2-3 minutes and then remove.
