Jangri

Jangri was in my wish list for a long time. But never tried as I thought it would be complicated. I just wanted to give a try on mini Jangris this Diwali. To my surprise it came out so good on my first attempt just like the store bought ones. Its not at all complicated as I thought. I really regret for not trying this easy sweet these many days. With my hearty Diwali wishes here comes the recipe..

Jangri Recipe

Soaking time : 1 hr | Cooking time : 40 mins | Makes : 25 (mini)
Category : Sweet | Cuisine : Indian

Ingredients:

For the batter:
Whole white Urad dal - 1/2 cup
Rice flour - 1 tsp
Food color - few drops

For Sugar syrup:
Sugar - 3/4 cup
Water - 1/2 cup
Food color - 3 to 4 drops
Rose essence - 4 drops
Lemon juice - 1/4 tsp

For frying:
Oil as needed
Ghee - 2 tbsp

Method:

1.Soak the urad dal for 1 hr.

2. Grind it to a thick batter in a mixer or grinder sprinkling water now & then. Don't add more water as the batter will become flowy. When you drop the batter in a cup of water it should float. Its the right consistency.




3. Add a tsp of rice flour & food color to the batter & mix well.


4. In a pan add sugar & water. Allow it to boil till it becomes sticky. No need to check for string consistency.



5. Add few drops of food color, rose essence & lemon juice(to avoid crystalization).


6. Heat oil in a pan. Add ghee in it for flavor. Keep it in medium flame.


7. Fill the batter in Jangri maker. First practice doing it on a plastic sheet or plate. Draw two circles as shown & over it draw small swirls over it.


8. In the heated oil start to squeeze the batter & draw jangris. The oil should be always in medium heat or else the jangris will get roasted. You can just draw 2 circles for mini jangris.
Once the jangris gets cooked on one side flip it with a skewer & fry till its slightly crisp.



 If you dont have a jangri maker, fill the batter in a ziplock cover. Put a small hole at the tip & squeeze as shown below.

9. Drop the fried jangris to the sugar syrup. Let it soak for 2 minutes & take out carefully.


10. Arrange it in a plate & serve it after 1/2 hr for juicy jangris.
