    Methi Mutter Malai is ready to serve, serve hot with rotis, chapatis, naan or with rice. Enjoy!!!

My Take :

1. To make Vegan version, just skip milk and cream and add more cashews paste or replace it by adding coconut milk and cream or almond milk. Replace butter by adding olive oil or veg.oil
2. The quantity of cream in this recipe can be adjusted to taste and preference. To make a lower calorie version, I have used more milk and 2 tablespoon of cream.
3. I have used fresh green peas, you can use frozen peas too, just boil them till they are soft and then add to the dish.
4. Boiled onion will help you to reduce the raw taste of the onions, so I will recommend you to don't skip this step.
5. If you don't want to prepare in Instant Pot, no worries you can do all the procedure into the kadhai too! Just first cook methi leaves separately for 2 to 3 minutes in a boiling water, drain the water and chop them and then add them to the kadhai with Matar.

Hello Foodies,
Happy Republic Day.
Jalebi is most popular sweet and which is prepared especially for Independence days and

Republic day throughout India. It is traditional sweet dish which is impotent part of lots of festival and celebration. Traditionally it is made from all purpose flour which fried in oil and soaks in sugar syrup. Jalebis though mostly eaten by themselves, can also be soaked in warm milk. This thin and crispy, chewy texture with a crystallized sugary coating jalebi is a special treat to enjoy this festive season. This traditional Indian sweet is often enjoyed with rabri. Today I have prepared an instant and easy version of jalebis. No use of yeast, curd. So give it a try and let me know.

Each Jalebi Contains 131.5 Calories.

1. Maida / All purpose Flour 1 cup
   
2. Corn flour 1 tbsp
3. Urad dal flour 2 tbsp
4. Ghee 2 tbsp
5. Baking Soda / Eno fruit salt 1 tsp
6. Sugar 2 cups
7. Cardamom Powder 1 tsp
8. Saffron 1 tsp
9. Orange food color 1 pinch
10. Pistachios for garnishing
11. Water 2 cups
12. Veg.oil / Ghee for frying the jalebis.

Recipe :

1. In a bowl add maida, corn flour, urad dal flour, Eno fruit salt, ghee and mix all very well, mix till it resemble like bread crumbs.
2. Now, by adding water prepare batter, batter should be flowing consistency (nighter watery nor hard).
3. Combine the sugar 2 cup with water 1 cup together in a deep pan and cook on a medium flame till the sugar dissolves, while stirring continuously.

7. Deep-fry the jalebis till golden brown from both the sides and transfer immediately into the warm sugar syrup and drain after 2 to 3 minutes.
8. Tadaa, quick and delicious jalebis are ready to serve. Enjoy!!!

My Take :

• If you didn't get urad dal flour then just grind urad dal and you will get your own homemade urad dal flour.
• Adding orange food color is totally optional but it will help you to give your jalebis a very good color.
• If you like your jalebi too sweet then keep in sugar syrup for more than 3 minutes.
• If you won’t get perfect shapes in first attempt as the jalebis keep on moving while you make the circles. you need to be quick and this does require some practice.
• If you don't find ketchup bottle or piping bags, just use a plastic bottle with a small hole in the lid to fill the batter.
