Steps
Şerbet
Prepare the syrup: Place the sugar, water, and whole cardamom in a saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once the syrup comes to a boil, simmer for 5–6 minutes. Then add a few drops of lemon juice and turn off the heat. Allow the syrup to cool slightly.
Hamur
Prepare the batter: Combine the flour, cornstarch, yogurt, and turmeric in a bowl.
Add the soda water first and mix. Then gradually add the water, checking the consistency of the batter.
Whisk the batter thoroughly. It should be slightly thicker than crêpe batter. Set the batter aside briefly.
Şekil verme ve kızartma
Transfer the batter to a piping bag.
Add a small amount of vegetable oil to a pan or frying vessel and heat it over medium heat. Do not fill it with too much oil; excess oil may cause the jalebis to puff up too much and lose their shape.
Pipe the batter into the hot oil in circular motions to form jalebi shapes.
Fry the jalebis, turning them gently.
Şerbete alma
Transfer the fried jalebis directly into the cold or warm syrup.
Leave the jalebis in the syrup for 1–2 minutes; there is no need to soak them longer.
Remove the syrup-soaked jalebis and serve.
Notes
The source specifies an equal ratio of sugar and water for the syrup. Sources differ on whether the syrup should be cold or warm; you can transfer the jalebis while hot into either cold or warm syrup. No alternative to a piping bag is specified.
