Add water and mix till a thick pancake batter consistency or reached or until the mixture is a dropping and thick pouring consistency.

STEP 6.When the oil is hot, pipe the jalebi batter into the oil moving in concentric circles, to make jalebi shape.
STEP 7.Fry the jalebis on low to medium heat till crisp and lightly browned.
STEP 8.Once lightly browned, remove from the kadai, drain off the excess oil and drop them into the prepared sugar syrup.Allow them to soak for a few minutes. Flip them over to ensure that both sides are coated.
STEP 9.Serve hot with ice cream or rabri.
