    Cook the syrup

    Put the sugar and syrup water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook over medium-low heat for 10–15 minutes, until the syrup reaches a strong-thread consistency. Remove from the heat and stir in the saffron for the syrup.

  4. 04

    Shape and fry the jalebi

    Heat the vegetable oil for frying in a pan. Transfer the batter to a dispenser with a narrow nozzle and pipe spirals about 5 cm in diameter into the oil. Fry in small batches, turning them once one side is golden, until crisp and golden.

  5. 05

    Soak and serve

    While the jalebi are still hot, immerse them in the syrup for at least 1 minute, turning them so both sides absorb it. Serve them straight from the syrup.
