BENGALI CHANAR JALEBI / PENEER JALEBI - SNC NO :9

I am a part of south team. This month our friend Priya from Priya's Versatile recipes represent from south team is challenged north team friends with Chettinad pakora kuzhambu and our friend Chandrani from Cuisine Delights challenged our south team with Bengali Chanar Jalebi 

About Bengali chanar Jalebi

 

It is a bangali dessert which is made up of fried paneer with some ingredients coated with thick cardamom flavored sugar syrup.  All of them are made this dessert using fresh paneer, but due to my health issue I could not do lot of works. But I was not participated in the SNC challenges for the past 5 months. I am really feeling guilty. SO I made this dessert bit different from your original version.

This is the quickest version for the friends who are not feeling well to do work like me :)

I used ready-made paneer. I used to keep sugar syrup in the microwave within 10 minutes :)

Ingredients

For Sugar Syrup

Sugar - 1 cup
Water - 1/2 cup
Cardamom powder - a pinch
Saffron - 2 strings (optional)

For Chanar jalebi

Paneer - 7 0z.

All purpose flour - 3 tbsp

Milk - 2 tsp

Baking soda - 1 tsp

Oil - to deep fry

 

 

To Garnish

Pistachio - 3 or 4 (Crush it)

Almond - 2 (optional)

Method

• For sugar syrup, add all the ingredients and mix well. Microwave it for 4 minutes. Stir every 1 or 2 minutes. Sugar syrup is getting ready. Keep 1 or 2 more minutes or until it becomes neither thin nor thick. It should be in the sticky consistency. 

• For jalebi, add all the ingredients except oil in a pan. Mix all the way until the paneer becomes soft and smooth.
  
• Take a small part from the dough, make it to a ball, roll it to a long tail, shape it like pretzel or your desire shape. Do the same for all the dough.
  
• Keep oil in a pan with medium flame for deep frying. Fry all the jalebis until it becomes golden color.
  
  
• Put them on the paper towel for few seconds and immediately shift all of them into the thick sugar syrup.   
  
• Garnish them with pistachios and almonds.

 

 

 Bengali chanar jaliebi came out very well. I am an ardent lover of sweets. It is a delectable dessert and my extreme thanks to Chandrani from Cuisine Delights for introducing this wonderful delicious recipe. 

I am going to link this recipe in the Chandrani's space for SNC - 9.
