Ingredients

• 1 cup Urad dal (split black gram)
• 2 tablespoons Rice flour
• 0.5 cup Water
• 1 pinch Orange food color
• 2 cups Sugar
• 1 cup Water for syrup
• 0.25 teaspoon Saffron strands
• 1 teaspoon Rose water
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• None Oil for deep frying

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the urad dal thoroughly under running water, then soak it in fresh water for about 2 hours.

Step 2

Drain the urad dal and grind it into a smooth, thick batter using a little water as needed to achieve a silky consistency.

Step 3

Add the rice flour and a pinch of orange food color to the dal batter, and mix well until evenly incorporated. The batter should be smooth and hold shape.

Step 4

Transfer the batter to a piping bag fitted with a small round nozzle, or use a homemade piping setup from a ziplock or milk bag with a cut corner.

Step 5

In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.

Step 6

Carefully pipe the batter into the hot oil, forming spiral shapes. Fry a few at a time, flipping to ensure even cooking until they are crisp and golden.

Step 7

Remove the jangris from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Step 8

To make the syrup, combine 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves completely.

Step 9

Once dissolved, add the saffron strands, rose water, and lemon juice. Allow the syrup to reach a single string consistency—this means that when a small drop is stretched between your fingers, it forms a thin thread.

Step 10

Once the syrup is ready, dip the fried jangris into the warm syrup, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them soak for a few minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 11

Remove the jangris from the syrup and place them on a wire rack to cool and set fully.

Step 12

Serve the nut-free jangri as a delightful dessert or festive treat.
