Jilebi the Indian sweet with the syrup filled in

is one sweet no one could resist . This tastes

excellent when served hot .Every bite is a treat

with the syrup drizzling out .

The authentic recipe is made with all purpose

flour , but the recipe I’m going to share with

you is no lesser match to the store bought

ones,or the authentic recipe.

Believe me , no one will be able to find that you

have made with iddli-dosa batter.

Making with iddli batter is more healthier than

the authentic one .My kids loved it !

Now to the recipe

INGREDIENTS

1 cup iddli batter ( 1 day old only)

1.5 tbsp all purpose flour

A pinch of food colour ( kesari powder)

A pinch of baking powder.

Oil for frying ( oil + ghee can be used)

---

For the syrup

1 cup sugar

1/2 cup water

A drop of lime juice or padigaram ( alum)-to

avoid crystallisation.

METHOD

Mix the batter well without any lumps .

Heat oil in a shallow frying pan .

Add the batter into a piping bag, and swirl on

hot oil.

when bubbling of oil mellows ).

see the syrup filling into the jilebis .
