Apple Jalebi (Apple Fritters)

Desserts, Vegan, , , , , , , ,

Apple Jalebis can be best described as apple wafers dipped in the flavorful sugar syrup. This is a modified version of Jalebis. They taste best when served hot.

Recipe will make about 16.

Apple JalebiIngredients:

  • 2 apples peeled and sliced them in thin rings
  • 3/4  cup all purpose flour (plain flour, maida)
  • 1/2  teaspoon dry yeast
  • 1/2  teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • Oil to fry

For Syrup:

  • 1 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4  teaspoon cardamom powder

For Garnish:

  • 1 tablespoon blenched and sliced pistachios

Method:

Batter:

  1. Dissolve the yeast and sugar in ¼ cup warm water, and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
  2. Mix the flour and oil together.
  3. Add the yeast solution to the flour and mix. Make a smooth batter. Add water as needed. Consistency should be like pancake mix.
  4. Set the batter aside and let it sit in a warm place for half hour.
  5. Make sure the batter is fermented, but do not over ferment. After fermenting batter will be little lacy.

Syrup:

Boil the sugar and water together. Add the lemon juice, and cardamom boil for about 8 minutes until syrup is about ½ thread. Lemon juice keeps the mixture from crystallizing

Making the jalebis:

  1. Heat the oil in a frying pan about 1 inch deep. To check if the oil is ready, put one drop of batter in the oil. The batter should sizzle and come up without changing in color right away.
  2. Dip the apple slices into the batter one at a time, making sure the slice is covered with the batter. Then, slowly drop the slices into the frying pan.
  3. Fry the jalebi in small batches. The jalebi will take about 4 to 5 minutes to cook.
  4. Turn them occasionally. Fry the jalebi until both sides are golden-brown.
  5. Transfer them into the warm syrup.
  6. Let jalebi soak in the hot syrup for a few seconds and take out over wire rack so excess syrup can be dripped from jalebi.
  7. Garnish with sliced pistachios.
  8. Serve hot.

Variations:

Try sprinkling cinnamon powder or drizzle melted chocolate over the Jalebis for a creative touch.

  11. Dear Manjula
    I’m glad God made ​​you come across your blog. I saw some recipes that I was delighted, first recipe I did was Jalebi, and all of famiilie I was very pleased. Then I made ​​Kadhim panner, but unfortunately cheese used was not very good to soak. In future I will try to make paneer at home or use fresh cheese. But he came good in taste. Then me, I am inspired and made ​​chop pepper and I fried them without having to wallow in flour or bread crumbs and they came out great. Today I made Jalebi ​​apple and came great. Thanks a lot for recipes. When I want to do something special dishes from our traditional “I’ll run and flick” through your blog.

  12. What meens “blenched and sliced pistachios”. I am from Romania and I dont understod very whell english. May be if you put a photo of them I can understud. Please write to me on my e-mai if you have time. Thanks

    1. Carmen, the recipe has a typing mistake. The word is “blanched” not blenched. Just use the same kind of pistachios that you would eat or using in cooking deserts. I’m sure you can find them in Romania. If you can’t you can still make the recipe and put almonds or cashews or some other nut on the top.

      1. Thank for you information. I do not know too great English but I help with translations from Google and the names of ingredients was difficult to identify. I’m glad I studied English at school and I can do with a little help to translate and communicate. I wonder sometimes when I was younger what I would use English. Now working as a computer operator and many messages are in English, and now here at Manjula kitchen recipes I found a number of cool recipes and is easy to understand with a little help.

  14. hello manjula aunty,
    apple jalebi is the marvellous theme you have discovered. i am dam sure that children will like it so much…i want to suggest you that we can do these jalebis with green bananas also.and i can say that bananas will make it more crispy and tasty….thank you….

  16. Hi manjula! I tried making this today and I left the batter out to ferment in room temp for an hour. My applefritters never became crispy (the inside would cook so much faster) what can I do to make it crispy? How should I store them after I make them? Thanks

  17. Can’t wait to try your apple fritters. I have an Indian potluck coming up and I bet these will go over well. Thank you so much. I can’t wait to keep browsing through your site.

  19. Hmm it seems like your site ate my first comment (it was extremely long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any tips for inexperienced blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.
