Ingredients
1 cup Fine rava
1/2 cup Curd / Yogurt
1/4 cup Maida
1/2 cup Water
1/2 tsp Baking powder
Yellow food color
Oil for frying
1 cup Sugar
1 cup Water
1/4 tsp Cardamom powder
Method* In a sauce pan take sugar and add water.
* Bring it to boil on high heat.
* When sugar dissolves and the syrup begins to boil, lower down the heat to medium and cook for about 10 minutes.
* After cooking for about 10 minutes check the consistency.
* The sugar syrup should be just sticky. We are not looking for any thread consistency syrup.
* Make syrup as we make for gulabjamun.
* Turn off the gas and add cardamom powder.
* Mix well and sugar syrup is already.
* Take rava into a blender jar and blend it in blender for about a minute.
* Do not blend rava into powder. Keep its coarse texture.
* Transfer the blended rava into a bowl.
* Add maida and mix well.
* Add curd and mix everything well together.
* Try to avoid freeze cold curd. Use curd that is at room temperature.
* Add water and mix well.
* The consistency of batter should be medium or flowig, neither too thick nor too thin.
* If you make thin batter then jilabi may break in oil or it won’t retain shape of jilabi while frying in oil.
* If the batter is thick then it will be difficult to press.
* Add food color and mix well.
* Cover and rest the batter for about 30 minutes.
* Add baking powder and mix well.
* Baking powder helps in making jilabi light. Take a zip lock bag or any other simple plastic bag.
* You also can cleasn and use a milk bag. You also can use jilabi mould.
* Transfer the batter into the bag.
* Heat up oil for frying jilabi.
* When oil is enough hot, lower down the heat to medium to low.
* Cut a small corner of the batter filled bag and drop jilabi into hot oil.
* Turn it round and bring the end at the center and cut the jilabi.
* Fry jilabi on low to medium heat only.
* Fry from one side on low to medium heat for about 3-4 minutes.
* Flip over and fry form other side for another 3-4 minutes.
* Take the jilabi out with the help of a skewer, shake off excess oil and transfer it into hot syrup.
* Make sure the syrup is hot while dropping hot jilabi into it.
* Let it soak into syrup for about 2 minutes.
* Take the jilabi out into a dish. Rava jilabi is already.
