Prepare One thread sugar syrup ( put a drop of syrup in a plate. When little cools, Touch it with the tip of your forefinger. Touch your forefinger with your thumb and pull apart slowly. It should form one string. This is our one thread sugar syrup. ) And turn off the gas.
Make a cone from plastic paper and fill the batter into it
Start preparing Jalebies in a pan and deep fry on low heat.
When the colour changes from below turn them and fry till both sides are golden brown. Keep flipping them it between. Drain excess oil and drop them into sugar syrup.
After two minutes turn the sides and then after 2 minutes take them out in a plate.
Thus fry all Jalebies, garnish with dryfuits and serve.
