Hiya! Today we will discuss about Jalebi Recipe

Ingredients

Ingredients
1 litre vegetable oil, for deep-frying
flaked almonds or finely chopped pistachios, to serve
200g caster sugar
small pinch of saffron
1⁄4 tsp green cardamom powder, or use regular ground cardamom
1 tsp lemon juice
125g plain flour
2 tbsp cornflour
1⁄2 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp natural yogurt
1⁄2 tsp turmeric, or a few drops of natural yellow food colouring
1 tbsp ghee
1⁄4 tsp baking powder
1⁄4 tsp bicarbonate of soda

Direction

First, make the syrup. Put the sugar and 100ml water in a pan set over a medium heat. When the sugar has dissolved, add the saffron and bring to the boil. Continue to boil for 5-6 mins until thickened and syrupy – the consistency should be like honey. Remove from the heat and add the cardamom and lemon juice – the lemon juice prevents the sugar crystallising. Set aside.

For the batter, put all the ingredients except the baking powder and bicarb, in a large bowl. Slowly add 150ml water and whisk for a few minutes until smooth, then add the baking powder and bicarb and stir well – it should be as thick as pancake batter. Pour into a squeeze bottle with a narrow tip, or spoon into a piping bag and snip off the tip so you have a small opening. Pour the oil into a large heavy-bottomed saucepan until it’s no more than two-thirds full and heat to 170-180C, or until a drop of the batter sizzles when added.

Carefully squeeze or pipe swirls of the batter directly into the hot oil – do this in batches (you should be able to fry four or five at once). Fry for 1-2 mins on each side until golden. Remove the jalebi with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain, then, while still warm, dip in the syrup using tongs or a fork, turning to coat. Sprinkle over the flaked almonds or chopped pistachios. Serve straightaway or leave to cool.

Curry-spiced chicken with a tartare of peas

Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Mix the oil with the curry powder, and rub this all over the chicken. Transfer to a roasting tin and cook for 1 hr 30 mins. To check if the chicken is cooked, insert a skewer between the thigh and the breast – the juices should run clear. Remove and allow to rest for 20 mins, loosely covered with foil. Meanwhile, fry the bacon until crisp in a dry, non-stick pan. Remove and leave to cool slightly. Pulse the peas separately to a rough purée in a blender, or using a hand blender. Mix the peas together with bacon, shallot, marjoram, chives, the splash of olive oil, a sprinkle of ground ginger, and season with salt. Serve alongside the chicken.

Preheat the oven to fan 200C/conventional 220C/gas 7 with a baking tray inside. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a frying pan, add the mushrooms and fry over a high heat for 3 minutes until golden and just cooked. Toss the parsley and garlic into the mushrooms, season generously with salt and pepper and set aside to cool slightly. Unroll the pastry and cut it into quarters. Sit a chicken breast diagonally in the middle of each piece of pastry. Spoon the mushroom mixture over the chicken breasts and drizzle over the remaining oil. Bring two opposite corners of the pastry together over the chicken and mushrooms so they just overlap and pinch together. Brush the pastry with the egg. Carefully transfer the parcels to the hot baking tray using a fish slice and bake for 30 minutes until puffed up and golden. Leave to relax for a minute or two before eating. Serve with a green veg or salad.

Golden pilaf with sizzling merguez

Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Toss the squash, a quarter of the sliced onions and the oil in a large roasting tin, season, then roast for 20 mins. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large pan and add the rest of the onions, plus some seasoning. Gently cook for 15 mins until tender and turning gold. Add the cinnamon and nutmeg to the onions. Toast for 1 min, then add the tomato paste and rice, and sizzle for a few mins. Pour in the stock and bring to the boil. stir the rice, then cover and simmer for 10 mins. Take the pan off the heat and set aside for 10 mins more to let the rice become fluffy and light. Toss the squash and onions, then return to the oven for 20 mins. Put the merguez into the oven in a separate tin and roast for 20 mins. The squash will be tender by this point, and the onions very crisp (verging on burnt – in a good way!). When ready to serve, slice the sausages on an angle. Toss the squash, onions, sausage, mint and pistachios through the rice and serve with the sauce and a dollop of yogurt.
