- Add the saffron soaked water to the jalebi mix (Separate the saffron strands from the water).

- The consistency should not be too runny or watery.

- Take the Jalebi mix in a zip lock or ketchup bottle, so that easy to make the jalebi while frying, I used a ziplock cover.

- Keep the Jalebi mix aside & prepare the Sugar syrup.

- Before turning of the heat, add the lemon juice to the sugar syrup so that, so that, syrup doesn't get crystallized.

- Make a small cut at the end of the cone (filled with jalebi mix)

- Heat oil in the pan & start making jalebi flowers in the oil.

Jalebi

- Fry Jalebi slowly flipping on the other side until they are turned golden brown color.

- Once fried, take them out on to a plate & keep them aside.

- Start dipping and soaking the jalebi in the luke warm sugar syrup for few seconds.

- Don't need to soak them for longer time..just need to soak them in sugar syrup for few seconds would be good enough.
