- Jaangiri
Jaangiri is a sweet, and is a variant of
jalebi prepared inIndia . InNorth India andPakistan it is called "Imarti" (Urdu /Hindi : امرتی/इमरती), and frequently consumed with curd (dahi) for breakfast. InSouth India , this sweet is served after a meal and also popular at weddings and festivals.Ingredients
Jaangiri is made from a variety of urad flour, also colloquially called "jalebi parappu" (dal) or jalebi urad in south India.
Sugar syrup andsaffron is added for colour.Preparation
Urad dal is soaked in water for few hours, and stone-ground into a fine batter. The batter is poured into
ghee , though other oils are sometimes used, to make patterns similar tofunnel cake s. The size of a piece is smaller than that of a funnel cake, however, and there is often a small ring in the middle around which the pattern is arranged geometrically.Before frying the batter, sugar syrup is prepared and is usually flavored with edible
camphor ,cloves ,cardamom andsaffron . The fried material is then dipped in sugar syrup until it expands in size and soaks up a significant amount of the syrup. In Northern India and Pakistan, imartis are usually drained, so tend to be drier than jalebis. The pieces can be served hot, atroom temperature , or sometimes refrigerated.ee also
