Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix together flour, water, plain yogurt, and baking soda. After everything has been well combined, allow the batter to rest for 15 minutes. Make sure the batter set aside is a thick consistency to prevent any dispersion in oil while shaping the jilapi’s. 

2. In a medium pot on medium heat, prepare the jilapi syrup using sugar, water, and cardamoms. When the syrup comes to a boil add in the lime juice. Remove the syrup from the heat once the syrup is a stringy consistency. 

3. Transfer the batter into a squeeze bottle then create your jilapi shape using a spiral motion in oil that’s on low heat to hold its shape. 

4. Once all the jilapi has been shaped in the oil, crank up the heat to medium-high to fry until light golden brown. 

5. Coat the jilapi’s in the syrup then transfer onto a cooling rack. 

6. Serve and Enjoy hot!
