Recipe for Kulhad wali Jalebi
A speciality from the streets of Old Delhi, made with maida (all-purpose flour) and sugar syrup, served in a clay cup or 'kulhad'. Here's a recipe for Kulhad wali Jalebi:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (maida)
- 1 tbsp besan (gram flour)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 pinch of baking soda
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
