Jelebi 【印度油炸甜甜圈】


I have made a point to make one or two types of Indian sweets every year during the Diwali time in the past years. 

This year, it is Jelebi, a type of sweet similar to funnel cakes, it is just much smaller in size comparing to funnel cake.  It is made by deep-frying the batter in circular shapes and then soaked in sugar syrup until it is all coated with syrup. 

This sweet is particularly popular in the Northern part of Indian. it can be served warm or cold. 

过去十年间只要我工作不是特别忙碌,我都会在排灯节(Diwali)前自己做一两种印式甜点过节拜拜用。

今年排灯节前两天刚好我不上班,就做了这款比较复杂的油炸甜甜圈Jelebi。这款甜点材料其实很简单,却是非常难做的一个甜点,两天里我做了三次才算是比较满意了。它的难度在于熬制糖浆的温度和炸圈圈时的手势,完全的纯手艺要求呢!

这道甜点可以冷热两吃,各有各的风味。
