Notes

If the batter is very thin, add a little Maida / All purpose flour so that the batter gets in good shape while frying.

Keeping the Fried Shapes in Sugar Syrup for more time will make it absorb more, so accordingly, sink the Jalebis

It is considered that eating Jalebis with milk is good for health.
