Ingredients
The following are the ingredients needed to prepare Jangri,
- Urad dal - 1 ½ cup
- Rice flour - ½ tablespoon
- Sugar - ½ cup
- Lemon juice - 1 teaspoon
- Food color - orange color 3-4 drops
- Saffron - a few strands
- Cardamom powder - 1 teaspoon
- Ghee for frying (optional)
- Water as required for batter and sugar syrup
- Salt a pinch
- Oil for frying.
Preparation Steps
For preparing the batter:
- Soak urad dal in water for about two hours and grind it into a thick batter that has a consistency similar to that of a Vada batter.
- To this batter add one or two teaspoon rice flour, a pinch of salt and two drops of food color. Mix well.
- Add water if required to maintain the original consistency.
For preparing sugar syrup:
- Heat a saucepan to prepare sugar syrup by adding sugar and water just enough to immerse it.
- Add a teaspoon of lemon juice and two drops of orange food color. Mix them.
- Add cardamom powder and saffron strands and stir them.
- Both food color and saffron give color to the syrup hence make sure to balance both or eliminate any one of the two as per preference.
- Switch off the flame right before it reaches the complete one-string consistency. The syrup should be sticky. Keep this aside and let it be warm.
For frying:
- Heat a broad and heavy-bottomed pan and add oil a little more than what is required for shallow fry. Maintain the flame at low. Ghee can also be used for frying Jangri.
- Make sure the batter is in the right consistency before preparing Jangris.
- Take the Jangri cloth or alternatively a zip lock cover with a small hole or a piping bag and fill it with the prepared batter.
- The shape of the Jangri is a highlight of the sweet. Practice it first on a plate before trying it in the pan straight away.
- Squeeze the batter into Jangri/flower shape by drawing two big circles where the line is parallel to each other and small swirls on top of it, joining both the lines.
- Once you are ready with the shapes start trying it straight into the hot oil.
- Do not overcrowd the pan and flip it when one side has fried.
- When it has turned crispy and fried well transfer it to a plate or tissue cloth to remove excess oil.
- Drop these fried discs into the prepared sugar syrup and let it soak for a couple of minutes.
- If preferred it can soak for a long time until it absorbs the sugar syrup well and it is ready to eat.
- If stored in an airtight container Jangri can stay fresh for a week.
