    Rajeswari,the traditional Jangiri and Jalebi r made of Uradddal and maida flour respectively.Here, I tried a mini version of both with Uraddal flour mixed with little maida flour.

    The uraddal batter will puff up when deep-fried in oil but not much.I did this with 50 mins fermentation cause I prepared the sugar syrup(one string consistency)in between.When u do next time,add just 1/4 tsp b.powder ,1 1/2 tbsp maida flour (instead of 1 tbsp) and u ferment it for 5 hours .(Elders say it needs more than 12 hours to ferment when u do it with maida flour but its not good for health-if u keet it outside for more than 8 hours ).

    Hello Christy, I just finished making them , Do you have to add B powder to the batter? Mine didn't puff up as good as yours. Then I had to add some water as the batter was too thick & I put 1/2 tsp salt & that too, I felt was a bit much. yours look so yummy, I don't know why mine didn't turn out as yummy as your?
