Most people have heard of jalebi – this ancient Persian sweet is popular at celebrations and street corners all over India. But jangiri is a little more obscure. I thought it was a sweet special to South India, but I have come to learn that it also has a presence in North India – called imarti. Jalebi and jangiri both look like sugar-coated orange funnel cakes.

What is the difference you say? First, they are made with different flours: jalebi is made with maida (all purpose) flour and jangiri with ground urad dhal. Jalebi batter is also supposed to be left to ferment (giving it a faint tangy flavour) while jangiri is not. There is also a difference in their appearance – the swirls of jalebi are more chaotic, while jangiri resembles a more organized flower pattern.

Those with a trained palate will also notice the slight crunchiness of jalebi, distinguishing it from the chewy, gooiness of jangiri. In most sweet shops, jalebi also appears a little shinier and more on the brown side (and jangiri more orange).


I like Jelabi more than Jangiri, it will be crunchy, little sour with the syrup in the swirls, apapa:-D

Here is the recipe for the kambu dosai.



KAMBU DOSAI

Ingredients:

1 cup broken kambu
¼ cup urad dal
¼ cup iddli rice
1 tsp fenugreek seeds
Salt to taste
Little gingelly oil

Method:

Soak the kambu, urad dal, iddli rice and fenugreek seeds.
Soak for about 5 hours. Grind to a smooth paste.
Add salt and let it ferment for about 8 hours.

Heat a dosai kal, pour a ladle of the batter.
Spread it like a dosai, drizzle little gingelly oil.
Once cooked remove and serve with any chutney.
You need not cook on both sides.

NOTE: next time I want to try without adding iddli rice.

2 tbs finely chopped green chillies
½ tsp ginger paste

Method:

Soak the kambu, urad dal and fenugreek seeds for about 5 hours.
Grind to a smooth paste, like a iddli batter.
Add salt, mix well and let it ferment for about 6 to 8 hours.

After the batter is fermented, heat a pan with the oil.
Add in the mustard seeds, urad dal and channa dal.
Once they are lightly brown, add in the onions, green chillies, ginger paste,
Give a nice stir, add in the coriander and curry leaves.
Now add this mixture to the fermented batter, mix well.

Heat the paniyaram pan, pour little oil in each hole.
Pour the batter in the holes and cook on medium heat.
When it is slightly brown, flip it over and cook the other side,
Serve warm with a nice chutney.

As for the ghee cookies, here is the cup measurements.


1 1/2 cups of all purpose flour
1/2 cup of caster sugar
1/2 cup of ghee
1/2 tsp rose essence
a pinch of salt.


Aarthii, the method is the same as I have done.
Nothing hard with this cookies, if you find the dough very dry, just add in little ghee.
If your dough is very soft, just add in little more flour.
You must be able to roll it into balls.
Actually after baking the cookies will look white.
In my picture it looks a bit yellow due to light when I took the picture.
It will be a little crunchy after it cools well.
Thanks and take care, Kugan
