Equipment

  • Mixing bowl

  • Saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • 2 apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 pinch of saffron
  • 1 tsp cardamom powder
  • ½ cup yogurt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ½ cup water
  • Oil for frying
  • Chopped pistachios and almonds for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the sugar syrup:
    In a saucepan, combine sugar and water. Boil until it forms a sticky syrup.
    Add saffron strands and cardamom powder, and keep the syrup warm.
  • Make the batter:
    In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and cardamom powder.
    Add yogurt and water gradually, whisking until the batter is smooth and thick.
  • Slice the apples:
    Core the apples and slice them into thin rings. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  • Fry the apple jalebis:
    Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
    Dip apple rings into the batter, ensuring they are evenly coated.
    Fry until golden brown and crisp on both sides.
  • Soak in sugar syrup:
    Remove the fried apple rings and dip them immediately into the warm syrup for 10-15 seconds.
  • Garnish and serve:
    Place the jalebis on a serving plate, garnish with chopped pistachios and almonds, and serve hot.

Notes

  • You can add a pinch of cinnamon to the batter for an extra layer of flavor.
  • If you prefer a thicker syrup, boil the sugar syrup for a few more minutes until it reaches a one-string consistency.
  • Apple Jalebi pairs well with vanilla ice cream or rabri for an indulgent treat.
